Structure

[Lance Edmonds]

Folks, in code above, "aList.Count" is a valid member of a UDT variable, so that name should work fine. Lets try not to confuse, ok? <grin>

However, there are two problems with the code in the 1st message above.[list=1][*]the UDT definition is called "MyLlist" not "MyList",[*]"name" is a reserved word.[/list=a]
The following runs fine for me:

type MyReg
 sName as string * 20
 Address as string * 30
 Phone as string * 12
end type
 
type MyList
 Count as integer
 Register(100) as MyReg
end type
 
Dim aList as MyList, List1 as MyList
Incr aList.Count
 
List1.Register(aList.Count).sName = "Joseph"
List1.Register(aList.Count).Address = "Mexico 10"
List1.Register(aList.Count).Phone = "1234567890

NAME is a reserved word. Try using LName (last name) or something
similar.

The use of periods in subscripts, labels, array names, etc. is
is okay SOME OF THE TIME. When I was using PB2.1F, I used periods
all the time with no problem. Switching to 3.5 however, forced me
to discontinue using them as it would work some times and not in
other times.

*** It is possible create with PB an structure like this: ***

type MyReg
  Name as string * 20
  Address as string * 30
  Phone as string * 12
end type
type MyLlist
  Count as integer
  Register(100) as MyReg
end type

Dim aList as MyList

Yes.

*** And add a record to the list using this syntax: ***
Incr aList.Count
List1.Register(aList.Count).Name = "Joseph"

Yes. But you may not be able to use subscripts with periods in them (alist.count may not be allowed. It's been a while since I worked with PB/DOS).

I know it will work with subscripts not including a period.

(Also, "name" may not be a permitted UDT member name. I know in the Windows compilers there are a bunch of dopey restrictions on UDT member names like this, but I'm not so sure those restrictions are in PB/DOS)
