Returning a String from a function

[LTee]

Hi all!

Is it possible to return a string from a function? I tried this:

Code:

dim result as STRING
result = test(50)
print result

function test(n as UBYTE) as STRING
    return str(n)
end function

But I get a compile error:

Code:

test.bas:2: Cannot convert value to string. Use STR() function

Am I doing something wrong? I'm suspecting the answer is 'yes'. :-)
