program variables of Addin can not be used outside

[maxchen]

!doR2 is defined in the eqsumtab.prg of EqTabs Addin

Code: Select all

%ex7 = "\Example Files\EV7 Manual Data\"
%ch2 = "Chapter 2 - A Demonstration"
%wf = @evpath + %ex7 +%ch2 +"\demo.wf1"
pageload %wf
eqsumtab eq*   'save in table "results", and @getnextname

'rename {%tabname} tbeqs 'no effect
c(1) = !doR2   'error


also, %tabname is defined in eqsumtab.prg, but can not be used outside the Addin in the line "rename {%tabname} tbeqs"

Yep.

Thanks, but the object created in Addin is not local, say live in the workfile, and can be accessed by the main prg file.

Correct. Workfile objects belong to workfiles, program variables belong to programs. When you delete a workfile, all objects in that workfile are gone, even if you're still running the program that created them. When you exit a program, all program variables in it are also gone, but the workfile objects it created are left behind.
