ReDim scope

[MamboKing]

I see this wieird behavior of ReDim in VBA.

I've a Public Vals_m#()

hence it should be visible everywhere in the module.

Executing the code I get: "Run Time Error 9 - Subscript out of range"

I understood that it's caused by a ReDim Vals_m(N)

This ReDim is instantiated into Sub1 that calls Sub2, both in the same module whith Public Vals_m#().

The error certainly occurs in Sub2 when I use Vars_m() first.

It really seems that the error is caused by the fact that Sub2 does not see the re-dimension of the array.

In fact, if I move ReDim Vals_m(N) into Sub2, the error disapperas!

Should't the ReDim of public array present the new dimensions everywhere in the Module?

I am not seeing the problem with some code I just knocked up.

Can you post a code example?

Can you post a code example?

No, I cannot...

Last night I fought with it for hours and had to change ReDim locations to make the code working.

I was now trying to replicate the problem for you, hence I restored the original locations or ReDim.

Everything is working fine regardless of the location of ReDim... :doh:

Let's see by the end of the day what happens...

Run Time error 9: Subscript out of range.

I posted the Excel file here:

http://sites.google.com/a/piac3ntini.net/sharingdocs/Home/ReDim_location.xls (http://sites.google.com/a/piac3ntini.net/sharingdocs/Home/ReDim_location.xls)

Click on the button “Price The Binary” and the error will pop-up.

The VBA will highlight the location that produces the failure.

Just few lines below (in the Sub hierarchically one level higher) there are two ReDim:

1) ReDim Vals_m#(0 To NS)
2) ReDim Vals_md1#(0 To NS)

The error will disappear if 1) gets moved into the Sub where the error occurs.

But then a second, similar error will appear.
This will go away if 2) gets moved just few line below, just below the two Call statements.

I’d appreciate any hint!

You are doing the ReDim before NS gets set. NS gets set to 100 in MtNS_calc, so when you yo ReDim it NS is 0.



ReDim Vals_m#(0 To NS)
ReDim Vals_md1#(0 To NS)

Call MtNS_calc(T2Expry, NofSsteps, sigmad, sigmap, ir)

:wot Cannot say how I feel...

But, Thanks a bunch!

Seriously.
