wrong language/platform you want VB's ByRef, ByVal by the sounds of it... just my 2c (+ GST + Ansett levy + Sugar levy + Medicare surcharge) barry.b -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Cameron Sent: Tuesday, 5 October 2004 1:52 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: copy > To my knowledge, assigning a complex variable to another variable creates > a reference. Except arrays (for some reason... "lack of attention to the job at hand on the part of MM", I wager ;-). It'd be nice to have some say over when a reference is made, and when a copy is made. Maybe: x = duplicate(y) // clone() might be better? and x = reference(y) And have them both work correctly for all types of object that might crop up. > Duplicate() creates a new copy of the variable (structure, etc). WARNING... Embedded objects will be converted to STRUCTS when using duplicate().
