LEN nor ULEN seem to work inside of a function

[rikky]

Hello

I'm using a Fossil from yesterday, I believe, or the day before.

FUNCTION LENGTH(string$)
 
 RETURN LEN(string$)
 
END FUNCTION

bla$ = "abc"
PRINT STR$(LENGTH(bla$))
PRINT STR$(LEN(bla$))

response:

0

I tested it, but inside the function LEN and ULEN both work.
You can print them, and they print the right value.

I hope I'm not making a stupid thinking error again.
I know I'm famous for that.

Hello Rik

Your logic is correct but the syntax
needs a small adjustment


Joe


FUNCTION LENGTH(string$) TYPE int
LOCAL result TYPE int
result = LEN(string$)
RETURN result  
END FUNCTION

bla$ = "abc"
PRINT STR$(LENGTH(bla$))
PRINT STR$(LEN(bla$))

Yep, this works.

Thrown away my workaround.  
Thanks.
