Acces and change an Arraylist or String in multiple functions, within the same iLogic rule

[jaco011]

Hi all,

I have an iLogic rule, which basically contains the following;

Sub Main
 'Do some checks and determine some values based on the document
 Sub_1(.....)
End Main

Sub_1(.....)
 While
  Result_1 = Function_1(....)
  Result_2 = Function_2(Result_1)
  Total_Result = Total_Result + Result_2
 End While
'Write Total result as txt file
End Sub

Function_1(....)
 For each occurence
  If occurence = phantom
   'Repeat function 1 for sub occurences
  Else If
   List_1.add(...)
  Else
   List_2.add(...)
  End if
 Next

Sort lists and write to string, with ; between the values
Sub_2(...)

Result Function_1 = String
End Function

Function_2(...)
 Split string based on the ;
 Write back to arrays
 Sort array lists
 Write to custom table
 Result Function_2 = string
End Function

I want the Arraylist be available (adding / get values) in multiple functions / subs, because now I have to write it to a string and split that string again in another sub. Is this possible? Also because I want to loop through the function and start it within each own, and I want all these results add in the same ArrayList.

I learned ilogic by meself using this forum and some basic coding knowledge, but I can't find an solution for this.

Is there someone who knows how to do this? (I would also be happy with an string which can be changed everywhere, than i stick to the splitting.)

One method is leave the declaration outside the sub routines. This allows access to all sub routines. I am not sure what this method is called.

Sub Main

List_1.add("1")

Call example()

'....Read arraylist

End Sub

Dim List_1 As New Arraylist

Sub example()

List_1.add("2")

End Sub

Didn't know such thing was allowed! This is fantastic! Thank you
