Override a RAP function

edited April 2004 in RAP
Hi,

I have an old RAP pass-thru function that takes 3 parameters. Now we want to
extend that function with an additional parameter, but we have lots of
reports using the original function and they won't compile with the new
version.
Is there a way to have 2 signatures of the same function that should compile
if one of them matches, or any other idea how I can accomplish this?

Thanks

-Jack

    You will need to create a new function, no other way around it.

    In the Windows API Microsoft often does this by creating a function with the
    same name plus a suffix such as Ex on the end. For example: myFunction and
    myFunctionEx.
