end function and return value

[bdina]

I am writing a function that may have one of three possible outcomes. I would like for it to end processing once an outcome is reached and return the proper value. I know if I were doing this in C I could do something like this:

if(a==1)
{
return 1
}

if(a==2)
{
return 2
}

if(a==3)
{
return 3
}

Where when the variable a was 1, it would enter that branch, and rerturn the value 1, then stop execution. How do I do the same in VBScript (VB 6.0)??

thanks,

Something like this ?
Function NameOfFunction(a)
If a = 1 Then
NameOfFunction = 1
Exit Function
End If
...
NameOfFunction = WhatYouWant
End Function

Hope This Helps, PH.

In VBScript, the function name itself "looks like" a local variable.

Whatever value it has upon exit from the function is the return value.

Function MultiCon(ByVal Multiplier)
  MultiCon = 13.2
  MultiCon = MultiCon * Multiplier
End Function

I hope that makes it clearer. The function name is used to set the return value, and additionally within the function itself it may be used in expressions.

yeah, I found the answer right after posting this question, but that was exactly what I was looking for... thanks
