Hello
I am trying to access/extract a subscript [i] if an array element a[i].
The aim is to input a date and extract the bar subscript from that date's bar
so that the subscript can be used over-write/modify an associated array
element[i] (if I understand how array data is constructed in AFL correctly ???)
A test code segment and debug outputis shown below. The issue I am having
difficulty with is that in the first line the index and barcount are correct if
all the data (including bars not displayed on the screen) is taken into
account. In line 2 the barcount readjusts to number of bars displayed on the
screen. I can accept that as a quirk but works. I then zoom out (as shown by
barcount)loading all the bars (data) onto the screen(debug shows zoomout effect
in line 9 - 26. But the subscript [i] is now empty from line 20 - as I continue
to zoom out on the chart. Why?
Is this a bug or is there something I am missing??
Can anyone offer an explanation as to what is happening?
// Array or number ?
dt = ParamDate("Date of the trend", "2009-05-25" ,0);
i=0;
i = ValueWhen(DateNum() == dt, BarIndex(), 1);
_TRACE(" i = " + NumToStr(i, 1.0) + " index date = " + NumToStr(dt, 1.0) + "
Barcount = " + NumToStr(BarCount, 1.0) );
