Hi,

The boolean expression for my While statement uses a return value from a function that I also need to use from within the statement block.

While ( (valueToUse=FromFunction())>-1)

DoSomethingElse(valueToUse)

Wend

The problem can be resolved with a ByRef parameter set to the return value, but what is the correct syntax.


Thanks

Hi
Welcome to the board

There are several options. 2 of them:

Code:
valueToUse = FromFunction()
While valueToUse > -1
    DoSomethingElse (valueToUse)
    valueToUse = FromFunction()
Wend

Code:
Do
    valueToUse = FromFunction()
    If valueToUse <= -1 Then Exit Do
    DoSomethingElse (valueToUse)
Loop
