Help!

I tried doing

VAR
long mydata[noparse][[/noparse]20]

index := 1
third := 3
mydata[noparse][[/noparse]index].byte[noparse][[/noparse]third] := 100

but the compiler keeps complaining "variable needs a parameter"....

What gives?

    You will have to do it this way.

    mydata.byte[noparse][[/noparse](index*4)+third]

    I thought the most logical and clean way would be my example code.
    This is most unusual.

    Thanks for your help.

    William,

    I can't disagree. A subscripted variable should still produce a typed "lvalue" on the compile stack that's subject to further modification. It's probably not a bug in the compiler, but more likely just an oversight.

    I have smacked my head into this one too. I think I have tried every possible combination. I'd agree with phil.
