how do you use variables in a built in function?I'm trying to use a variable in the below Distribution Procedure which is inside a function. It works if I hard code the text(the commented out 1), but when I put it in a variable(varB), it's not evaluating the variable.

Is there some thing fundamental I'm missing?
the Show(varB) tells me that the value has been correctly passed...
but then in the Distribution Procedure I get:
Name Unresolved: varB{1}
???
Thanks,
Alex

Re: how do you use variables in a built in function?Take off the curly braces - that turns c into a list.

c = "Name of Group1";

If that still doesn't work try

RunTheVERTICAL(eval(c));Re: how do you use variables in a built in function?neither of those works....

if you look at the 2nd line, the show(varB) works correctly....I get this output in the log...

varB:"Name of Group1"
varC:"Name of Group1"
Name Unresolved: varB{1}
