How to use setVarWriteProtect to protect a defstruct variable?

Hi Expert,

 I use defstruct to define a struct variable. For example:

 defstruct(mystruct aaa bbb)

 s1 = make_mystruct(?aaa 1 ?bbb 2)

 then I use setVarWriteProtect to make s1 write protected:

 setVarWriteProtect('s1)

 But when I change s1->aaa = 5, it still can be modified. Seems only s1 is write protected, but no its member variables.

 How to write protect the member variable s1->aaa? Is there anyway to do it in Skill if not by function setVarWriteProtect?

 Regards,

Angelia

    Hi Angeila,

    We're not ignoring you. It's just that we don't know the answer or if it is possible. I think it might be a question for a Cadence person.

    Why do you want to protect it like this? I can't really think of a good reason.
