As I say, I'm not a Metastock wizard, but help
me to understand why one has to give a portion of the variable e.g. our_num
a name. Surely MetaStock is not so limited, that one has to give a
variable a name b4 one uses say y= mov(open,int(our_num,s) and y2 =
mov(open,int(our_num*10.),s) and y3 = mov(open,frac(our_num*10.),s)or
similar?

not tried this in MetaStock, so cannot say it definitively works however, I've
used it extensively elsewhere. Take a variable, our_num. For the sake of
argument, lets say it has the value. 34.95. Then you have basically three
variables, the first moving average length is 34, the second is nine, and the
signal is five. I use this type of thing a lot to decribe both a function
input, it's colour and line thickness when building indicators. If it doesn't
make sense, then I'll get the Metastock manual out and construct an example.

Hope it helps

Number of assigned variablesI have run into a problem
while writing an indicator in which I have too many assigned variables
(more than 20). Has anyone found any programming tricks that permit, for
example, variables to be combined, etc., so that the total can be greater
than
20?Bill<<<<
