Hi all,

I'd like to use a dataset in a getn subroutine, but getn doesn't seem to be able to take dataset values.

What I'm trying is something like this:

dataset values;
values.setsize(3);
getn (Value 1) values[1] (Value 2) values[2] (Value 3) values[3];

Creating individual variables for the getn dialogue is possible but confounded by my need to be able to handle a variable number of dataset values. The subroutine to handle the number of dataset values is ok - it's just the getn function that's causing a headache. I have a workaround with a variable number of variables but it's cumbersome. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Katti,

Though this is not a direct answer to your question, you may want to try like following:
str$="(Value 1) rr1 (Value 2) rr2 (Value 3) rr3";
getn %(str$);
ii=2;
rr$(ii)=;
You can construct str$ by string manipulation depending on the desired number of variables.

Hope this helps.

Hi Hideo, this is pretty much what I'm doing at the moment :-)
