it is possible to pass by reference or by value to a TCF function, but
probably not in the way you are used to:
-----------------------------------
here's how to pass by value:
MyTCFFunc("@@local$myvariable")
inside your tcf function, your function's parameter will contain the
value that local$myvariable did. you can do whatever you want to the
string and it wont change the origional variable.
-----------------------------------
here's an example of passing by reference:
MyTCFFunc("local$myvariable")
inside your tcf function, your function's parameter will contains the
value"local$myvariable", instead of the value of that variable.
Let's say your function's first param is called "local$myparam", you
can read/write the parameter like this, thus read/writing the actual
origional variable (thus you have essentialy passed the variable by
reference):
read the variable:
<@var name="@@local$myparam">
write:
<@assign name="@@local$myparam" value="value goes here">
-----------------------------------
Hope that helps!
