How to pass a parameter up to the calling sequence?

[Phillip L.]

Hi I am having trouble to pass a value back to the calling sequence in TestStand.

I would like to achieve it without using StationGlobals as it then becomes machine dependent.

Please help

Thanks.

Hey Phillip,

I created a small example that converts a Dog to a Cat and neuters it.  I am attaching it in 3.0 and 4.0 because I don't know what version you have.

So basically I pass my Pet to the subsequence and inside the subsequence I neuter the pet.  Well, you will neuter the pet or not.  Then I pass whether or not it was neutered back and also pass back the pet as a cat. 

Just run the example and you'll see what I mean.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Hi Jigg

Thanks for your example, I figured out where I have done wrong.

I forgot to setup my parameter defined in the subsequence as a "by reference" variable.

It works fine now.

Thanks.
