Assignin Structures

Greetings -

I created a structure within a function and I would like to save it back to the base work space and I get the error:

"??? Undefined function or method 'assign' for input arguments of type 'struct'."

What is a good way of getting around assignin and structures. I have the structure named 'data' and I would like to save everything it contains to the base work-space.

Well, the error refers to the function or method "assign" and not "assignin". Is it possible you made a simple typo? Can you show the actual code you used?

Assuming you really used assignin() and not assign() (of which there is no such function), are you sure you did something like

    assignin('base', 'myStruct', myStruct);

Maybe you forgot to put the name of your structure variable in there twice, once with single quotes around it.

My apologies. I feel like I would be a significantly better programmer if I could spell, or spell or at least consistently wrong. I was using assign rather then assignin. Not sure how I got to this point without noticing.

No worries. Sometimes the silliest errors are the most difficult ones to spot. Please consider "accepting" my solution to you problem, since it does seem to have resolved the issue. Also, for future reference, it might have made sense to add your remarks as a "comment" to my answer, rather than as a separate "answer".
