Thanks for that suggestion, I’ve does something like that.

I’ve now worked out a way of doing it without having to test the environment each time that I want to call put by using dispatch. There is an additional function call in place of checking the environment though.

	local tReporter               
	
	command stackReporter pResult
  		put pResult & return after Field tReport
	end stackReporter

	command scriptReporter pResult
  		put pResult & return
	end scriptReporter

	command reportResult pResult
  		dispatch tReporter with pResult
	end reportResult

	if the environment is "server" then
  		put "scriptReporter" into tReporter 
	else
  		put "stackReporter" into tReporter
		### code to set tReport # # #
	end if

	reportResult "My Result”
