I am refering to the official command reference for TYPES:
A cunning trick for debug purposes, or for saving data from types to a file, is to use the Str$ command. Print Str$() will print the values of each field of the type in turn, comma separated, within square brackets, e.g. [15,42,"Fluffy",500].
THIS DOES NOT WORK in my application. The return value is always [OBJECT]. Can somebody help? Thanx.
