Assigning commands to Procedure variable type in ATEasy environment

I am coding in the ATEasy environment which is BASIC programming.

Assume I have a variable of Procedure type, named pFunc.

And also I have DRV that has the command: MYDRV EXECUTE MYCMD(iCnt,dResult).

The function that I want to use "sits" in another driver and it is not public. So I only have access to the COMMAND that calls this function.

How do I assign the command to the Procedure variable?

I tried doing this:

pFunc =  MYDRV EXECUTE MYCMD

But it does not compile. It thinks I want to call the MYCMD commands and asks for parameters.

Solution

  • I got an answer from ATEasy support forum in Marvin Test Solution site:

    Apparently it is an issue that was fixed in ATEasy 8.

    So this:

    pFunc =  MYDRV EXECUTE MYCMD

    actually works in ATEasy 8 and above
