passing variables

Hello.

Let's say that I have a sub as such.
Sub setVars(symbol As String, startTime As String, endTime As String)
If Weekday(Now - 1) = vbSunday Then
stDate = Year(Now) & "/" & Month(Now) & "/" & Day(Now - 3)
Else
stDate = Year(Now) & "/" & Month(Now) & "/" & Day(Now - 1)
End If
stMachine = "&HISTORIC&"
stService = "TA_SRV"
stTopic = "LIVECHART"
stItem = "TICKS;1006,1178;9008='" & stDate & "',1003='& symbol & ',9004=1,9009=' & startTime & ',9010='& endTime & '"
End Sub


can I just call this sub later as
Sub connectTAL(symbol As String, startTime As String, endTime As String)
setVars(symbol, startTime, endTime)
end sub

No. If you are going to pass the parameters inside (), you need the
Call keyword in front. Otherwise, with subs you leave off the ().

Thank you.
So I the correct syntax would be


Call setVar(symbol, startTime, endTime)

That is fine but personally, I don't use the Call syntax. I think it is left
in for backward compatibility and I don't care much for how it looks.

If call is not the prefered way what is?

Sorry, didn't read your post carefully.


callVar symbol, startTime, endTime


This is valid syntax?

setVar symbol, startTime, endTime


Even

Yes, both are equivalent, so it is a matter of taste.
