The
original post mentioned that Spryos already had the #include in his code (see
below), so I didn't repeat that bit. His (original) problem was more
to do with version number than a syntax problem. He would need a
fairly recent beta (4.33?) to be able to use functions this
way. Since he mentioned that he is a demo user, he is unlikely
to be using a beta version.

So what part do you disagree with?
You used #include in the
formula that called it, right?
Without #include it won't work
on my machine.

System Tester Issues and how to fix. (for SR)
CS...sorry to disagree with you.... I created a
function...as Chuck stated ..in an empty IB window: function
myFunction(x1,x2,x3,x4) { return (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) / 4; }
Saved this as myfunction.afl Then in an empty IB window I
put the following: #include "C:\Program
files\Amibroker\Afl\myFunction.afl" x = myFunction(Open, High, Low,
Close); Plot(X,"",colorRed,styleLine); It worked.....

excuse me for cutting in... I haven't been able to get Chuck's
solution to access a function within theseparate AFL directory either,
until I used: Saved within C:\Program
files\Amibroker\Afl\myFunction.afl return (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) / 4;
That's it. Just one line. No brackets. Now, within Indicator
Builder, my formula is: function myFunction( x1, x2, x3, x4 ) {
#include "C:\Program files\Amibroker\Afl\myFunction.afl" }
A2=myFunction( O, H, L, C ); Plot( A2,"function example",
colorRed ); Hit APPLY and it should work (with ver 4.36). I had
to insert the #include instruction since it doesn't appear that
ABfunction commands will search the hard drive for the saved afl file
bysimply stating x = myFunction(Open, High, Low, Close); AB
will search for the called function within Indicator Builder, but
itdoesn't appear to out on the hard drive. -CS -----
