Hi

Just wondering if there is a mechanism for modifying the values of stream protocol user variables.

 

‘param’ is the user variable whose value I am attempting to alter.

param = "0";

 

getString {

        out "string? " $param;

        in  "%s";

}

 

The following do not affect the user variable ‘param’, declared above:

paramE {

        $param = "1";

        out "NOP " $param;      This actually is always “0”

}

 

paramD {

        $param = "0";

        out "NOP " $param;

}

 

The following work, in a sense, in that the param variable changes, but it’s scope appears to be within the specific protocol function, that is, the ‘global’ variable at the top is not affected.

PE {

        param = "1";

        out "NOP " $param;     This does have the value “1”

}

 

PD {

        param = "0";

        out "NOP " $param;

}

 

Also, it seems that an ‘out’ and/or ‘in’ statement is always necessary (errors occur otherwise), indicating that a protocol to simply change a user variable is not possible.

 

Thanks,

Al
