Description Maciej Nux Jaros 2005-11-13 18:34:08 UTC 
Simple - when I create the function:
Function a () as double
   a = 10 'in the "watched variables" I see -> a = <Out of Scope>
end function

It really annoys me because I would have to create some other variable for
debugging - like this:
Function a () as double
   Dim res as double
   res = 10
   a = res
end function

Not a bug because a isn't a variable, so no it cant be used as such.

What?! Of course it _is_ a variable! It is the returned value and it has to be
put in somewhere. I don't care if it is in accumulator (ax) or on top of the
stock or somewhere else (as it probably is) but it is a variable for me and I
should be right - I'm the user ;>.

Besides that Excel enables this possibility.

OOo has very poor variable watching (can't see contents/structure of objects),
please don't add this one to it's poorness.

This is about the Basic IDE, has nothing to do with Calc.

TBE->AB: As discussed to you.

Indeed this should work, but it could be not so easy to fix and
does not affect general funtionality. -> P4, OOo later
