Passing a variable to a subroutine within a subroutine question.

T&E Engineer

I tried to pass a variable to a subroutine which is inside of another subroutine and it is not sucessfull. For example:

temp1   VAR   Byte
cs      VAR   Byte
 
Subroutine1   SUB  2
Subroutine2   SUB  1
 
PROGRAM Start
 
Main:
 
cs = 5
 
Subroutine1 3, cs
 
END
 
 
SUB Subroutine1
  temp1 = __PARAM1 
  cs = __PARAM2
  [b]Subroutine2 cs[/b]
  temp1 = temp1 + 1
  'Do something with temp1 now....
  ENDSUB
 
SUB Subroutine2 
  cs = __PARAM1
  cs = cs + 1
  'Do something with cs now....
  ENDSUB

Something like this format does not work unless even if I declare in the begining of the program: cs = 5

However, If I change it to this, it works:

temp1   VAR   Byte
cs      VAR   Byte
 
Subroutine1   SUB  1
Subroutine2   SUB  1
 
  
PROGRAM Start
 
Main:
 
Subroutine1 3
 
END
 
SUB Subroutine1
  temp1 = __PARAM1 
  [b]Subroutine2 5[/b]
  temp1 = temp1 + 1
  'Do something with temp1 now....
  ENDSUB
 
SUB Subroutine2 
  cs = __PARAM1
  cs = cs + 1
  'Do something with cs now....
  ENDSUB

·Any ideas?

The first compiles without error using SX/B 2.00.30

Peter,

Those were example ideas based on code I am trying to write. However, my main question was if it was possible to have variables passed into another subroutine and you have answered that. I will relook at my code tonight and make sure I have the latest SX 2.0.x. Thanks again for the confirmation.
