Hello Everybody,
I'm trying to make working this code:

B4X: 
Sub Globals
    Public Type(Codice,Nome,Targa) Veicoli
End Sub

Sub App_Start
    Ricerca.Form2.Show   
End Sub
Public Sub Veicolo(Codice)
Veicoli.Codice=Codice
Veicoli.Nome="Franco"
Veicoli.Targa="ES265CK"
Return Veicoli()
End Sub

It works fine when running on Desktop, but when I try to compile it return this error:

Compiler Error Message: CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type string[] to string
Line Return Veicoli()

Any hint?
Thanks
Francesco

If its declared in globals, you shouldn't need to use a return

I'ts right, but Type can't be declared elsewhere.

My need is to call the sub Veicolo(Codice) from other modules just like this:

B4X: 
Sub Globals
    Public Type(Codice,Nome,Targa) Macchina As String
End Sub
Sub Form2_show
    macchina()=main.Veicolo("1234")
    Msgbox (macchina.Codice & Chr(13) & macchina.Nome & Chr(13) & macchina.Targa)
End Sub

What exactly do you want to do ?
This is wrong:
Public Type(Codice,Nome,Targa) Veicoli
It should be:
Public Veicoli Type(Codice As ???, Nome As ???, Targa As ???)
In the Type declaration you must set the variable type !
Then you need to dim a variable of this type.
You might have a look at chapter 10.3.4 Type variables in the Beginner's Guide.

I found a solution:
-Remove argument from 'Return'
-modify code calling sub like this:
B4X: 
Sub Globals
    Public Type(Codice,Nome,Targa) Macchina As String
End Sub
Sub Form2_show
    main.Veicolo("1234")
    macchina()=main.Veicoli()
    Msgbox (macchina.Codice & Chr(13) & macchina.Nome & Chr(13) & macchina.Targa)
End Sub

Sorry Klaus, but on basic4ppc help I found this example about Type Syntax:
B4X: 
Example:
Sub Globals
            Dim Type(Name, ID, Age) person
End Sub

I looked for the B4ppc guide but the link on an Erel's post is broken.
