Multiple Values from a proc or function

[bigspank]

I have a form, on it I need to return multiple values from a proc or function....how do I accomplish this? When you sow a thought, you reap an act. When you sow an act, you reap a habit. When you sow a habit, you reap a character. When you sow a character, you reap a destiny.

Several ways are possible. You can create properties of the form which are set in your program. You can put he results in an array and return the array. You can put the results in a temporary table, or global variables. You can send a object with properties to the procedure, modify the object and return it, etc. You can turn the various values into strings, concatenate them with a separator between and return the concatenated string, etc. It's just a matter of what you like best.

Common these days in most objects used in windows is to return an object. If no specific value is returned, the return value is .NULL.

So if you want to return more values, you can use an object. This object can be of clas type custom.
You can attach properties to this object, and read them when the object is returned from your procedure.
