Include

[Henning Wallgren]

I have extracted the 'print' section of my program to a separate
file. Print uses information from test(). When I try to compile,
it fails because test() is unknown to Print.bas at this point.
How can I get around this?

QM.bas:
#COMPILE EXE
#REGISTER NONE
#DIM ALL
#INCLUDE "Print.bas"
'-----------------------
FUNCTION PBMAIN
DIM test(1:2) as string

1. Pass Test() as a parameter to the print routine
2. Since it appears test() is a GLOBAL, you can also put a GLOBAL Test() AS whatever prior to the #INCLUDE
3. #INCLUDE the file after PBMain instead of before it; but since Test is GLOBAL and you'd still need a GLOABL statement somewhere prior to Test() 's appearance.

Best way as far as future maintenance needs go is probably to PASS test() as a parameter.

Michael, thank you.

At the present time I'm going with your no# 2 option which
solved my problem. I will probably change my program later on to
where I pass the data on as a parameter. However, the #2 made
other parts of my program possible to extract to separate
files. Thanks.
