Function Return: Map Values

[stanl]

Assume I have a UDF that accepts an SFTP sever ID and a task number. Within the UDF the appropriate user, password, SFTP server login ID and passphrase will be sent to a WinSCP function for execution.


Question is: I know I can place the multiple return values into an array, but wonder if instead I create a Map [retvals] can that be returned and sent to WinSCP function so that rather than WinSCP sessions having


user = Array[0]


it would be


user = retvals["user"]


All based on request for more 'readability' from code.  Anything for work has to be compiled exe so practice is limited.


Or I could have just asked "Can a map be create in one function and sent as a parameter  to another function and still be treated as a map"?

Assuming I have decyphered your post correctly and as long as the "user" values are unique, the map should work just like the regular indexed WIL array.

Pretty easy for basic test. Thanks. The purpose is more complicated but question was answered

Code: Winbatch

#DefineSubRoutine get_User(mapval)
   Message("User Value",mapval)
#EndSubRoutine
#DefineSubRoutine get_map(map)
   Get_User(map["user"])
#EndSubRoutine
server = "user,user1":@tab:"password,password1":@tab:"passphrase,C:\temp\001.sys"
map = MapCreate(server)
get_map(map)
