Access to Functios return value

[ajtsystems]

My script is fairly simple but I cant seem to get the functions return value out


Dim retValue

' Call the function with and without the Call keyword.
Call ShowSum(3, 4)
ShowSum 5, 6

retValue = ShowSum(7, 8)
MsgBox "The function returned: " & retValue

Function ShowSum(value1, value2)
Dim sum

' Determine and display the sum.
sum = value1 + value2
MsgBox "The sum is: " & sum

' Set the function's return value.
ShowSum = sum
End Function

wscript.echo sum

 

[mrmovie]

the last line '
wscript.echo sum
is never going to echo anything, the variable sum is rightly declared in the Function ShowSum and therefore is not available outside of the scope of that Function

this shoudl be giving you something though
retValue = ShowSum(7, 8)
MsgBox "The function returned: " & retValue
