terrypin Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 How are you supposed to enter an array index in this dialog? My current clunky method is to enter a nominal '1' and then later change it to my required integer variable, such as %OriginalPosition%. Is there a better way please? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acantor Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 When I don't use arrays, I just type in the name of the variable, without the percentage signs. When I "OK" the dialog box, the variable name is wrapped with percentage signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to pop-up the list of Integer variables at this stage. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 It seems to me that this is a design flaw. You should be able to pop-up the list of Integer variables at this stage.This has been discussed before in the forum and we all agree it's a little unintuitive. But for the record I do what you do. Type "1" then fix it. Alan's suggestion is sound as well and most advanced guys I know type the variables instead of using the picker. I like using the picker though because I'm prone to typographical errors. Also if I mistakenly define a variable with the wrong type or try to use the wrong type of variable in a field I can catch my mistake. It ends up being more efficient for me.
