1. Please use the SRC-button to post code!
2. I have no idea why and what for you coded that, what you expect and what it does.

    Hi   whroeder1

                    

#import "Exp.dll"
int   SetRateArray(double rates[][6],int,string,int,int);// rate array,array length,symbol name,period,readlen
                                                         // if readlen is 0, realtime mode
                                                         // if readlen>0,histrical mode
                  
int   SetHost(string,int);//IP ,port

Please have a look at the error code .

'pluginAB.mq4'

Thank you very much

[Carl Schreiber]

Either define this array as a 'global' array then you can access it without passing it over as a parameter to the function, or just use a reference, what's wrong with it?

"passed by reference" means only that in the function does not exists a copy of that array and all what you do with it in the function happens to the original.

Change to this:

#import "Exp.dll"
int   SetRateArray(double &rates[][6],int,string,int,int);// rate array,array length,symbol name,period,readlen
                                                         // if readlen is 0, realtime mode
                                                         // if readlen>0,histrical mode
                  
int   SetHost(string,int);//IP ,port

That is not an error - it states there that it is a warning (and a benign warning - unless you try to change some of the array elements in the called function(s), in which case you will scratch your head)

Do as honest_knave told you to avoid that compiler warning

Hi   Carl Schreiber  honest_knave Mladen Rakic    

Thank you very much to help me.

pluginAB.mq4  MT4 test by now, but from the DLL data without work ,

Some of the called function is to change the array elements,

So how to change
