How do you send or return a structure such as a user type to and from a function. Am I limited to creating globals to get complex data handled in a function or muust I use gosubs?

I'm finding it a real pain, also why do I have to keep retyping the user type name in a routine for every variable in the type. Other packages use "with" ie. "with userType do" then every variable of that type refers to it.
Eg with fred do
name$="Fred"
age=64
tel=123056
end block
Any help is appreciated.

Types can't be passed into or out of functions, I think.

I'm usually dealing with arrays when I have types to I just do this:



There is no 'with' function in DBPro

Thanks. As I assumed, no 'with' statement. As you suggest I have been using the array / index method to use "user types" in functions. I was hoping there was a method not mentioned in the rather sparse manual. Just a beginer so still a lot to learn. (Using DBPro) Normally programme in Delphi 7.
