How to make Arrays GLOBAL

[basil99]

Hi !

A bit stuck with it.

Say, I declas Array in the beginning of the prg, like

dim MyArray( ElementsNumber )

Then, I need to make it visible from any Function  and/or Psub, like this

Fuction MyFunc( param )

             ...........

             ; Sample operation
              var1 - Myarray( param )

             .............

EndFunction


Is it possible ?

Yes, that array is global because you declared it outside the function.

 PlayBASIC is top -> down compiler.   Items such as arrays/variables need to be declared prior to their use.  

In this sample the Names$() array is visible to all of the code bellow this declaration.

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

   Dim Name$(100)

   SetName(1,"Bill")

Function SetName(Pos,Name$)
   Name$(pos)=Name$
EndFunction

In this sample names$() isn't visible and will error.

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]

Function SetName(Pos,Name$)
   Name$(pos)=Name$
EndFunction


   Dim Name$(100)

   SetName(1,"Bill")
