Returning multiple variables in SKILL function

RFStuff
RFStuff over 12 years ago

 Dear All,

I want to a skill function that can return multiple values.

Like: (a,b)=skillfunction(x,y,z....)

Could anybody please tell how it can be done.

Kind Regards,

    Hi Andrew,

    I've been using the destructuringBind function and I've noticed that SKILL Lint does not understand the destructuringBind function correctly?
    code:
    bbox = list( '(0 0) '(1 2))
    area= destructuringBind(((llx lly) (urx ury)) bbox (urx-llx)*(ury-lly))

    First it complains that the llx, lly, urx and ury are defined globally. So after putting then in the let() I get the following errors:

    ERROR (CHK3): C:/Cadence/skill/test.il, line 455 (test) : Bad argument ( must be a symbol) : (llx lly)
    ERROR (CHK3): C:/Cadence/skill/test.il, line 455 (test) : Bad argument ( must be a symbol) : (urx ury)

    Do you have any idea if SKILL Lint is correct in these cases? Or should I just ignore this error?

    Thanks
    Bram
