Dennis:
thanks for the reminder. I have not yet had time to try the
differences.
If the
dynamic variable will contain text (like a symbol name), then use VarSetText,
ie, Sym01, Sym02. ???
If the
dynamic variable will contain a date, which to use?
Obviously calculations from prices will be
VarSet/VarGet.
Related
question: Can I format decimal places within the formatting part of a
StrFormat comand? If I want to show $ to two decimal places, what would it
look like? The only example in help shows something related to file open
commands, not display strings.
Thanks
for commenting.
Ken
Not sure if this will help, but watch your data types.
VarGet()
VarGetText()
VarSet()
VarSetText()

I previously asked (and
received good help) on how to assign a dynamic name to array variables.
Such as Price01, Price02, Fund01, Fund02, etc, where the "01" and "02" are
provided by VarSet commands. I have proven the more simple of these to
work.
However, when I attempt
to execute a practical application, I get a variety of errors which I cannot
solve.
I would like to plot a
line of numbers using gfx commands, in order to create a title with evenly
formatted columns.
I can do this with many
repeats of lines, manually changing the 01,02,03 parts of the variable
names.
Such
as
GfxSelectPen(
colorBlue
);
for( i =
1; i <
5 &&
i < BarCount; i++
)
{
PrintInCell( StrFormat(Fund01),
1,
0
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat(BuyDateDisp01),1,
1
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(BuyPrice01,1.2)
),1,
2
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(Val01,1.0)
),1,
3
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(Val01Today,1.0)
),1,
4
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(ValChg01,1.0) ), 1,
5
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat(Fund01),2,
0
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat(BuyDateDisp01),2,
1
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(BuyPrice01,1.2)
),2,
2
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(Val01,1.0)
),2,
3
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(Val01Today,1.0)
),2,
4
);
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(ValChg01,1.0) ), 2,
5
);
}
(NumDec) is a function to control the decimal
formatting--not germane to my current barrier.)
If I try to put in something like
this:
procedure
PrintOneLine(j)
{
PrintInCell(
StrFormat(Fund(j)),j, 0 );
PrintInCell(
StrFormat(BuyDateDisp(j)),j, 1 );
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(BuyPricex(j),1.2) ),j, 2 );
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(Val(j),1.0) ),j, 3 );
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(ValToday(j),1.0) ),j, 4 );
PrintInCell( StrFormat("$" +
NumDec(ValChg(j),1.0) ), j,
5 );
}
Then I get errors from the functions I have previously set
up to try and assign the dynamic part of the variable, such
as
function Price( k
)
{
return
VarGet(
"Price"+
StrFormat("%02.0f", k )
);
}
function Fund( k
)
{
return
VarGet(
"Fund"+
StrFormat("%02.0f", k )
);
}
So, while the
advice to use VarSet or VarGet functions was good advice, I am unable to
implement it, even after trying variations of statements.
Does anyone
have an example of using dynamic variables to print Title statements, either
traditional AFL or using the new GFX which you could share so I could get on
with the coding.
Lacking any
help on this, I guess my only other alternative is repetitive lines for each
set of variables, controlled with IF statements. Messy.
Thanks for any
help.
Ken
