array variable with program name

    Hello Everyone!!!!

    hope all members are doing well!!!

    I want to use local variables (.variable) with the program name, so anyone can help me or explain me how to use local variable with program.

    I am beginner for the AS language, so if anyone help me its helpful for me.

    test program for example,

    .PROGRAM Test(.variable)

    ;----------------------------------------

    .a = offseto/10

    .b = offseta/10

    .c = offsett/10

    CASE .variable OF

    VALUE 0:

    POINT base = base0;

    VALUE 1:

    POINT base = base1;

    VALUE 2:

    POINT base = base2;

    END

    In above sample program how .variable value coming?, if anyone knows please explain how the value coming ???

    Thank you so much for your reply.

    I understood about Call instructions with array variable but I want to understand about this local .variable , how I get this value and how to use this value with CASE command?

    Check in AS manual, there are some very simple and basic examples that show the process.

    Do a search for Subroutine with parameters and look at example 1.

    Also do a search for local variable in AS manual, again it is explained.

    Local is local to program, so it needs to be defined locally in the program to be used....hence the term 'local'.

    It is differentiated by a 'dot' in front of the variable name and is local and not globally accessible.

    CALL monkey(1);

    .PROGRAM monkey(.variable):

    ;=========================

    ; .variable will be defined by CALL parameter

    ; CASE will then pick CALL chimp to execute

    ;=========================

    CASE .variable OF

    VALUE 0:

    CALL ape

    VALUE 1:

    CALL chimp

    ANY :

    HALT

    END

    .END
