Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	code: ; running under KiXtart 4.12 ;dim $bSilent ;$bSilent=1 if not isdeclared($bSilent) dim $bSilent $bSilent=1 ? '$$bSilent = '+$bSilent endif ? '$$bSilent = '+$bSilent When running this code the first line is printer correctly but the second line tells me tyhat $bSilent is empty. Uncommenting the top two lines will result in a correct output. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Damn, you're right. However, that raises a question. How am I supposed to DIM a variable that could potentially be passed through the commandline but is optional if I am using Explicit=on ? The only way I see is to make it a global variable. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Nope, have to use GLOBAL if DIMming within the IF-ENDIF, though I just don't like it this way. An IF shouldn't have it's own scope. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	and, as a sidenote, I use always with commandline vars: $possiblyPassedVar=""+$possiblyPassedVar which makes it declared. not sure kix2001 anymore needs that but with 3.6x script crashed if that wasn't taken care of. then again, if explicit on, why can't you set it after initial var declare like the above? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Could do this I guess: code: if vartype($parm) = 0 ; not passed on cmdline ? $=execute("dim $$parm") $parm=5 endif [ 05. December 2002, 17:15: Message edited by: Shawn ]

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	The problem is that the script will accept an optional command line parameter like this: code: wkix32.exe shutdown.kix $sComputer='workstation' The script is supposed to use the workstation name if no parameter is passed into the script. Thus, I'm using IsDeclared to see whether a parameter has been passed into the script. If not, then GLOBAL $sComputer and set it to the workstation name. [ 05.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	own scope... I too think it's pretty confusing. I think we could have separate dim for local: local (clever eh?) global - whole process wide dim - current sub script wide local - local for current structure well, I think this same way as kix now has is the most "good" as it's normal behavior in programming languages. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I'm coming 1 post late. anyway, if you call your script with or without the parameter, you can do: code: $sComputer=''+$sComputer if $sComputer "was passed" else "wasn't passed" endif this way it's always global. {edit} someone forgot code tags [ 05.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	I am currently using the GLOBAL version since I am not willing to give up Explicit=ON. However, I am now fighting with remote registry writing through WMI. It needs to be done in about 30 minutes and I can write to the remote system _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, think global in pure explicit in current kix-version is the correct way... even logically. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
