Function Compilation Error

Share icon

Hi Everybody!
I am a Igor novice. I have collected an Igor procedure from other guys and tried to run in my computer. But it is showing a compilation error.
Error message is something like that:

''Name already exist as a function
Error in Global_Utilis.ipf:Append Wave
Function AppendWave( m, w )"
But I did not find two Append Wave functions in that procedure file. I got only one Append Wave function.

Any Kind of help regarding fixing this issues is appreciable

There must be another procedure file (procedure window) that contains a function with that name. Unless a function is declared Static, or is contained in an independent module (an advanced technique) it must be unique within all open procedure files.

Use the Find dialog with the multi-file find and "All Procedures" selected to search for the other occurrence of that name.
