Hi,

I've got few questions:

1. Is it possible to create a function, which can be used few times in the code? I mean - declaration (somewhere, not necessary as global function) and then calling this procedure/function? Just to save a space and make a code more understandable.

2. Is it possible to 'jump out'/return from the formula somewhere by purpose? For example - I've got pretty long formula, which checks many fields in DB. The point is to return 'Yes' if any of those fields meet specific condition, so mainly - I would like to end formula (to speed up, as it will be run for every record) the first time, when condition is met. Something like 'return' in C++ or java in the middle of the function.
Of course - I can use many 'if' statement to avoid running to much code once I'll meet my condition, however nesting so many ifs one within other is something I would like to avoid.

3. Can anybody explain me why (unless it's a CrysRep bug) such code is not acceptable:
if (1=1) then
(iNumber := 7;) //iNumber is a numbervar type
else
(sString := "Whatever";) //sString is a stringvar type

I get an error, that after 'else' it expects number.
I ask - why? Why does it want the same type as after 'then'?? This is different variable. I don't get it, maybe this is a bug?

Of course, I can change:
(iNumber := 7;)
to:
(iNumber :=7; sDummy :="bla bla";)

and it will work, but I'm just wondering if there is any particular reason to do this as it is right now.

Best regards,
Mikolaj

Hey,

Thanks for your reply.

#1 - yes, this is something I want to achieve. Ok, so if it's possible, I will find it :)

#2 - Switch won't help in this case. What I'm trying to achieve is to quit formula wherever I want (liek return in function in C++)

#3 - No, I'm not trying to end formula with this. Imagine that this is in the middle of the code.

For example like this:

local stringvar sString := "NO";
local numbervar sResult := "My Result";
local numbervar iCount :=0;

if ({Command.Category} = "Else") then
(iCount:=iCount+1);
else
(sString:="YES");

...........//some not important for this example code that is using sString and iCount, and gives new value (or not) for sResult

sResult;
