Subroutine Local

Hey there,

I am writing a subroutine that requires looking data up from a table. I tried to use "subroutine local" because I don't want the program to store any intermediate elements, but somehow I couldn't make it recognize that the table exists (I just refer to the table "TABLE(!i+1,1)" and it keeps saying that it is not defined. Does tables work within local subroutines? Please let me know. Thanks.

You called your table "table"?

No

Just an example. If you want, call it tab_abc.

Seems to work for me:

Code: Select all

create u 100
table a

call foo(a)

show a

subroutine local foo(table mytable)
   !i=1
   mytable(!i+1,1) = "hello"
endsub
