Returning value from window

[Scotte Meredith]

Yes, that is how you set it up. Any change to the line should be reflected in the original variable. Look at the variable itself rather than how it displays on the original window. Perhaps a redraw it needed on the first window. 

As for how to pass other things back and forth, you can pass a reference of the original window to the new window and the name of the method you want to be called. Then you know the name to call back to pass no back. 

Do $windows.vClientSelect.$open(‘*’,kWindowNormal,iClientList,$cinst.$ref,’$passbackDataMethod’)

In new window:
Set reference iirOrigWindow to pfrPassedInRef
Calculate icCallbackMethod as pcMethodName

Later in some other method:
Do iirOrigWindow.[icCallbackMethod](parameter1,parameter2)
