Hi,

Why can't I do the following?

function GetPremBreakDown(var ACostTypeArray: array of TCostBreakDown;
                          AListOfCosts: array of TCostStruct): boolean;
begin
    Finalize(ACostTypeArray);
    SetLength(ACostTypeArray, Length(CostTypeArray)+1);
end;

I want to pass GetPremBreakDown an array declared in the calling proc, and
add items to the array. However, I get an 'Incompatible types' error on the
SetLength(ACostTypeArray... line. Why???

Thanks,
Dion.
