(My first post here.) I am trying to get a return value from a function called via a reference stored in a dispatch table. This should be easy, but I keep having problems with it. For the sake of discussion, the following is not working for me...

  $RtnVal = $ActionSubsM{$FormCmd}->( $FORM{'meetingid'} );

[download]

The above will compile, but will not run correctly. If I take off the "$RtnVal =" so that I am not storing the return value, I get valid execution, but no return value then.

I have tried storing the reference from the dispatch table in a temporary and working off that, but that did not work either.

Any ideas what could be going on?
