UserS Usage

GeryKnee — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 23:14:48 GMT

Hi to all
Something is going wrong here:

(setvar "USERS5" "MyString")
(setq St (getvar "USERS5"))
(princ St)
(princ)

"MyString" string value expected but #<SUBR @0941d1a4 USERS5> returned

Thanks,

Gery

Noting wrong with this code, works prefect for me. if the return value is like you said, make sure you do not set a function name to variable.

@GeryKnee ,

Works fine in ACAD2002.

Try changing "USERS5" to 'USERS5.

You shouldn't have to, but I'm just curious as to why your anomaly.
