Dear Support Board Can anyone provide some help with resetting variables on symbol change. I have the following: // Do Processing SCString SYM = sc.Symbol.GetChars(); SCString str_CURRENT_SYM; if(str_CURRENT_SYM != SYM) { // clear values } ..... etc. etc. { // code blocks } // last line before closing bracket str_CURRENT_SYM = SYM; But clearly I've got it wrong. Any help appreciated. Many thanks |

you need to make your str_CURRENT_SYM persistent in order to work as intended. currently your str_CURRENT_SYM will be a newly initialized on each bar, rendering your last line before closing bracket obsolete. see ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: Persistent Variable Functions |

Thank you. Well I used int& and float& in the study for that very reason and completely forgot about the need for a PV with SCString. Great help thank you! |

Yeah, the non persistence of variables is a trap I get into myself often enough. Glad I got you on the right track. |
