<P><FONT SIZE=2>Carlos, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>1. Urgency of need at your end, does not necessitate urgency on the part of list members.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>2. I'm sure there are many folks on this list who can help you if you define your problem clearly and don't mix languages and provide a precise explanation of what is the binary file you are trying to print and why, etc.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3. To see the modified value of X, you have to return X to the caller; e.g. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2><SCRIPT></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>var Y;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>var R;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Y = 3</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>R = Modify(Y);</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>alert(r + " is the result of sending Y to the Modify() Function");</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>function Modify(X) {</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> X = X + 5;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> return X;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>}</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2></SCRIPT></FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Subject: [Javascript] Functions arguments...</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Well, it seems that nobody can help me with the conversion of variant into a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>string...if anyone can, please email the answer, I'm in a hurry...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Meanwhile I want to ask another question...</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>How can I pass an argument to a function, modify it inside the function, and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>then that this modification reflects outside the function, if no one can</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>understand, I put an example...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>function Modify(X) {</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> X = 5; //This value of X won't go outside the function</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>}</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So, if I call the function Modify(X), then X will remain undefined, in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>others words, if any have programmed in pascal can associate this to the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>"var" keyword in a function or procedure, which allows the function modify</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the value of a variable...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>And again, my question...How can I convert a variant type to a string or a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>byte or an integer???...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks</FONT>
