[Programming Help] - calling functions from another function

Greetings, Sierra Chart team.

I'm trying to build a function for the SuperTrend indicator and I've run into a problem.

I already put the "#includes" for "SierraChart.h", and "SCStudyFunctions.h" and "Myfile.h" , but when I try to use the functions of "sc.MovingMedia", "sc.TrueRange", "sc. ATR" "sc.ValueFormat"; The compiler gives me an error indicating that "sc" has not been declared in this scope.

Could you give me a guide to know where I could check documentation to call the mentioned class of functions, from another function?

Have you seen this part of the docs?

ACSIL Programming Concepts: Passing ACSIL Interface Members Structure To Secondary Function

Passing ACSIL Interface Members Structure To Secondary Function

/*==========================================================================*/
void PassingSCStrutureExampleFunction(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  //The "sc" structure can be used anywhere within this function.
}

/*============================================================================
"An example of calling a function that receives the Sierra Chart ACSIL structure (sc)."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
SCSFExport scsf_PassingSCStrutureExample(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  if (sc.SetDefaults)
  {
    // Set the configuration and defaults
    
    sc.GraphName = "Passing sc Structure Example Function";
    
    sc.StudyDescription = "An example of calling a function that receives the Sierra Chart ACSIL structure (sc).";

    
    return;
  }
  
  // Do data processing

  // The definition of the function called below must be above this function.a
  PassingSCStrutureExampleFunction(sc);
}

Hope this helps,
JohnR
