[amibroker] Re: functions/variable scope errors

Thanks Mike,

but my code is written in such a way that functions play the roles of
parameters(to avoid errors and facilitate debugging and changes),
trying to mimic polymorphism of OO language.
Problem is that i think functions cannot be changed at runtime during
backtesting , but have to be declared one and stay the same.
These functions return different prices (O/C) with different time
delays so I could rewrite the code and use one functions taking 2
paramters , one for delay and the other for O/P.

This what it comes to my mind now, but I would like to know why is tht
error produced.
what if I declare empty functions (like virtual declaration in c++) at
as an empty prototype at global scope and implement and give some
parameter dependent implementations later. Again is all about mimic
polymorphism.

Thanks
Ly
