Hi,

I'm trying to convert a large study into a workable scan. The portions which are proving difficult are the functions. Here is a sample:

Code

script isABCD {
    input _mode=0;
    input abc=0;
    input bcd=0;
    input d=0;
    input c=0;
    def _abc = abc >= 0.382 and abc <= 0.886;
    def _bcd = bcd >= 1.13 and bcd <= 2.618;
    def ret =_abc and _bcd and (if _mode == 1 then d < c else d > c);

}

def u_abcd2 = isABCD(1,abc,bcd,d,c) and isABCD(1,abc,bcd,d,c)[1]==0;

I've tried a myriad of different approaches to solve the issue, but nothing has worked. I'm hoping a fellow scripter might be able to provide some insight into how a function (script) might be rewritten to work within a scan...

Thanks in advance. Thanks also to Syracusepro for generously sharing the original study and BenTen at usethinkscript for posting it...
