Manually set the value of the @extended macro.
SetExtended ( code [, return value] )
| code | The required value (integer) to set into the @extended macro. |
| return value | [optional] (default 1) The value to be returned by the function. |
When entering a user-written function @extended is set to 0. Unless SetExtended() is called, then @extended will remain 0 when the function ends. This means that in order for @extended to be set after a function returns, it must be explicitly set in the function. This also means you may need to backup the status of @extended in a variable if you are testing it in a While-WEnd loop.
The return value parameter is optional. It is provided as a way to use the Return SetError(...) syntax to define the value to be returned at the same time as setting @error (and possibly @extended). If a specific value is not set then the return value will set to 1 as SetError() is a successful function.
@extended is limited to values between -2147483648 to 2147483647.
