As far as i know/remember - its not possible to return arrays,
you can however create container types...

type intArray
data[MAX_SIZE]
endtype

or you can simply use global arrays...and write to the one
that best fits your purpose..

my b3d knowhow is rusty...but i think the answer is NO..

Arrays are global. You don't need to explicitly return an array from a function. Changing the array within a function changes it globally. For example:

Dim a(10)
For x=0 To 9
	a(x)=x
Next
For x=0 To 9
Print a(x)
Next
doit()
For x=0 To 9
Print a(x)
Next
WaitKey()

End

Function doit()
For z=0 To 9
	a(z)=7
Next
End Function

Was this what you were looking for?
