How do I export a parameter from one define-function to another?

h0rst · May 13, 2017, 18:56

Hello everyone,

I'm calculating the average temperature by a function hooked by "execute at end". It is a define on demand function.

I need this temperature in a different udf, which is used as an initialization function

How can I export the temperatures from one udf to the other?

Best regards

Hallo,

there are many possible options:

1. You can try to define the global variable which will be used by both UDFs;
2. You may use scheme variable (there is an example in help, search for rpgetvar);
3. You may update some text file and read the value there (will be the slowest).
4. ...

Regards, Maks
