Imar,
The global array is being defined in the mainline, but not populated. What happens if
you set element 0 to some
value (to take up some storage space first) and then try the switched function calls?
When you say "Alas, this also emptied the array each time I went from one function to
another via the switch
statement." do you mean that the array definition line is inside the same loop that
causes the switch statement
to be revisited?
(it shouldn't be - put it right at the beginning of the 'mainline' and ensure that it
is not re-executed (which
would indeed 'reset' the values))
Regards,
=dn
