Passing Device To Function

jabramson · July 2012

I'm sure this is something very simple. I'm trying to pass a device to a function but I am getting a Dimension Mismatch and type mismatch error on the function call side (not the function processing side)

Function Call

MY_FUNCTION(dvTOSEND)  //Error is with this code

Function Code

DEFINE_FUNCTION MY_FUNCTION(DEV dDEVICE[])
{
    send_string dDEVICE, "String to Send"
}

Take out the [ and ].

The brackets imply you're sending a DEV array

The compiler is complaining because you've told the function to expect an array of devices, signified with the brackets on dDevice[]. If you drop the brackets it should work the way you want it to, accepting a single device.

Like this:

DEFINE_FUNCTION MY_FUNCTION(DEV dDEVICE)
{
    send_string dDEVICE, "String to Send"
}

That worked, thanks (I knew it was something simple).
