[amibroker] returning more than one array from a function

["Dave Merrill" <dmerrill@xxxxxxx>]

Say I have a function that I'd like to have return two arrays. As far as I
know, there's no direct way to do that, but I'd like to confirm this for
certain, since it would be very handy, and allow better coding practices.

The closest we can come I think is to set some variables outside the
function, before calling it, so they're global, and have the function set
them. What I don't like about this is that in contrast to some other
languages, the names of those variables have to be hard coded inside the
function. I'd much rather pass the names of the result arrays to use (or
pointers to them) into the function.

For example:

ResultArrayOne = ResultArrayTwo = Null;
function SetTwoArrays() {
	ResultArrayOne = C;
	ResultArrayTwo = ROC(C, 1);
}

You have to use the variables named ResultArrayOne and ResultArrayTwo for
this function to work correctly; those variables are what it sets, no matter
what.

Do I have it right that this is the only way to get more than one array back
from a function?
