Re: Processing a list of procedure parameters

[Mel Rothman <mel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Duane,

I tried your code and mergeStrings returned the last array element.

I modified the statement at line 112 from:

returnString = %Str(string(x));

to

returnString = returnString + %Str(string(x));

and it seemed to work as expected.
