[REBOL] Context misery

From: sanghabum:aol at: 5-Jun-2001 7:13


Hi there,

Could someone with a better grasp of context than me explain why this won't
work?---I think the problem is using a local variable in a DO:

myfunc: func [BlockName [string!]
              /local aa bb][

  aa: copy [1 2 3]
  bb: join BlockName ": copy aa"
  print ["aa is " mold aa]
  print ["bb is " mold bb]
  do bb
]

When I run it I get:
>> myfunc "myblock"
aa is  [1 2 3]
bb is  "myblock: copy aa"
** Script Error: aa has no value
** Where: myfunc
** Near: myblock: copy aa
>>
All I'm trying to do is create a variable dunamically based on a name passed
to a function.
Thanks!
Colin.
