Discussion

The A5_SETUP_ASK_VARS() function allows you to add "ask variable" support to your own User Defined Functions:

Example

function foo as C (filter as C, order as C)
    'Create a CR-LF delimited list of arguments that potentially contain ask variables...
    arguments = filter + crlf() + order
    ask_var_code = a5_setup_ask_vars(arguments)
    evaluate_template(ask_var_code)
    if (prompt_result <> "ok") then
        end
    end if
    'continue with the code for the 'foo' function here.
    ??
end function
