Array Bounds

[John Gleason]

Hmmmm....that makes me wonder?? If you can get the attributes of an array, can you get the attributes of a variable to see if it were declared as long, or as string???

You can get some information by using LEN(). If it's 20 long, it's a string. If it's 4, it could be a LONG.

#COMPILE EXE
#DIM ALL

FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG

    LOCAL s AS STRING, l AS QUAD, e AS EXT
    s = "12345678901234567890"
    ? STR$(LEN(l))
    ? STR$(LEN(s))
    ? STR$(LEN(e))

END FUNCTION

No, but if you are curious about what type of data has been passed to your function, you can pass it as a one element array and use array techniques.

   REDIM  Z(0) AS whatver_type_is_convenient_right_now 
   Z(0)  =  the value 
   CALL    MyFunctionWhichHandlesAnArrayofAnyType (Z())
