As have been said, Call might as well be dotnet, and a lot of other languages, or? And the OP *is* as seen, in the dotnet group, using dotnet. Good guess nobody! /Henning

Call certainly did *not* originate with ClassicVB. But if upon correction and reflection you want to qualify your initial WILD ASSertion, so be it. VB is a dialect of MS BASIC, and Call goes back further than VB in that language family. It's entirely debatable whether VFred falls into the same family, so don't bother pointing out the confusingly similar names as any sort of rationale for that meaningless restriction. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

Seriously, Scott - many VB.CLASSIC developers (including myself) used to be in the habbit of using call on almost all calls that didn't assign a value - simply because the VB.CLASSIC way of handeling parens was so confusing :) Do you think they are just going to give up that habbit overnight? I know lots of my early VB.NET code has lots of Call statements in it :) -- Tom Shelton

Bob Butler escribi�: > Where it gets confusing for people new to VB is when CALL is omitted: > DoThing (lngValue) You can do that only if the function has just one parameter, but if it has more than one, you need whether to use Call or to remove the parenthesis. That's in fact the difference with .Nxt, you can use parenthesis even with more parameters without the need of the word Call (I researched a bit). PS: And about the other discussion about when the word Call appeared in BASIC, at least it was in the TI99/4A (year 1983). A TI99's program using Call is posted here: http://www.digitalstratum.com/programming/hkmaze_ti_xb The TI99: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_TI-99/4A |
