Errorbars and $string_with_wave_name

Share icon

Hi

I try to use errorbars in a generic fitting function that calls waves using $string_with_wave_name such as 
display $Y_Wave_name vs  $X_Wave_name

(this is working)
However if I try to use
Errorbars $Y_Wave_name, XY wave=($XErr_Wave_name,$XErr_Wave_name),wave=($YErr_Wave_name,$YErr_Wave_name)

i have an error message saying that the trace is not on the graph.

I suspect a bug since if I use the same syntax with one particular set of names for X,Y Xerr and Yerr waves, Errorbars works fine
This works in Igor Pro 6.32:
Function Test()
    Make /O /N=5 xWave=p, yWave=0
    Make /O /N=5 xErrWave=1, yErrWave=1
    
    String X_Wave_name = "xWave", Y_Wave_name="yWave"
    String XErr_Wave_name = "xErrWave", YErr_Wave_name="yErrWave"
    
    Display $Y_Wave_name vs $X_Wave_name
    Errorbars $Y_Wave_name, XY wave=($XErr_Wave_name,$XErr_Wave_name),wave=($YErr_Wave_name,$YErr_Wave_name)
End


If you can't solve the problem post a fully function example like the one above.
