[amibroker] Re: basic question about referencing bars

["bigitop" <doctormuniz@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks!! Ref() worked perfectly.

can you please help me with one more thing

i have a variable:

variableX = variableY / abs(variableZ);

i'm trying to use inside an if statement like this:

if (variableX > .5)

but it gives me the following error:

"Condition in IF, WHILE, FOR statements has to be numeric or boolean
type. You cannot use an array here, please use [] (array subscript
operator) to access array elements"

i tried referencing it as variableX[0] but it doesnt work. how do i
know what's inside an array so that i can refer to it??
