how to Pass Optional Parameters in VBS?

[ShrikantBiradar3449]

Hi,

We can't use optional parameter in vbs like we can in VB as follow:

Code:

InsertRecord "Read"

Public Function InsertRecord(Optional sLogMsg = "Write")

ValidateRecord(sLogMsg )

End Function

Please provide me an effective solution which will not lead to any major code change!


I am having following option but avoiding because of the "scope" of variable declared for Optional parameter:

Ex.

Code:

mymessage = "OPTIONAL"            'sDelimiter = |
Call ABC("asdf", mymessage)        'sDelimiter = | - DEFAULT
Call ABC("asdf", "12345")        'Override Delimiter = '$'

Public Function ABC(str, mymessage)        ' OptionaL values in function arguments
    If mymessage = "OPTIONAL" Then
        mymessage = "123"
    End If
    Msgbox mymessage
End Function

[Skepsis]

Simple, use dictionaries from a string (example not functioning code)

Code:

call X("param1::value1^^param2::value2")

function X(aDict)
dict = call decodeDict(aDict)
  if dict("param1") <> "" then pm1 = dict("param1") else pm1 = ""

OR

make all passable parameters global ( not recomended )

Of cause how you break up the dict and return it I leave to you
