How to send in a constant into a function

Question

Hi!
I would like to know if anybody knows how to send
a constant into a HiQ-script function. The constant is sent into the HiQ-script from Labview. The problem is that I want to use the constant inside the function. To use the constant outside the function works fine but not inside the function.
In the attached file I try to send the constant "ainput" into a Hiq-script, the error message I get says that the constant ("ainput") has not been assiged a value.
Maybe there is a way to declare a input as a "global" variable so that it works both in the main program of the script and in functions inside the script......but how do you do that?

Answer 1

Joakim,
You just need to change the scope of the variable ainput. Here is an example of how to do that:
function multi(x)
project result1, result2;
result1 = x^3;
result2 = x^4;
return result1, result2;
end function;
Please see Chapter 5, Script Basics, and look in the Objeect Scope section for more details.
