No syntax error for too many variables in ValMax()

[Colin Jones]

A word of caution ... If you try this :

         MsgBox ValMax (1,2,3,4)

You may be surprised that the answer is 2, and there are no syntax errors flagged by DiaDem 2010 SP1.

The code needs to read :

         MsgBox ValMax ( ValMax(1,2) , ValMax(3,4) ).

Hello Colin,

The function works correctly according to the help system, but I agree that it should issue an error message when more than two parameters are entered. I have forwarded this to the DIAdem R&D team to create a fix for the next release of DIAdem that will display an error message when more than two parameters are entered for ValMax.

Thank you for the notice.

Hi Colin,

I always use MinV() and MaxV() personally.  They complain if you try to use more than 2 parameters.
