I have created a routine and am trying to use it in within a Nested Condition. My Expression Type is Custom - (Conditional). Within the Expression field I have something like - RoutineName ("parameter") = 1. When I compile, I get - Array 'RoutineName' never dimensioned. What does this mean? RoutineName is not an array. How can I correctly call my routine?

Use the Routine Activity stage to actually call the routine and then use the Nested Activity stage to check the results and decide what to do.

This is because functions need to be pre-declared in programs using the DEFFUN declaration.

In your case the solution is simple, create a routine activity stage and call up your function, then in the Nested Condition use the value Your_Routine_Activity.$ReturnValue" for your comparision.

If you are using Version 7.5, you don't need the nested condition stage. The routine stage supports conditional triggers based on returnvalue.

Got it working; thanks to all for helping this newbie out.

So, it isn't possible to call routine from DS 7.5.x Sequence/Job Activity trigger ?
The call succees from Routine Activity only ?

When a call is made from trigger every compiling throws like

Array 'WeekTag' never dimensioned.
