  What variable have you created? You may be better off calculating the value in the UDF, and if it's a field value post processing that rather than what you've done. More information will help.

  thanks for the prompt reply @rwoolhou
  
  lets make it a general question , if a user defined variable has been created for any reason , is there a way to refer to it inside the UDF as it is
  
  i have tried using RP_Get_Real("variable-name")
  
  where for the variable name i put the name given for the user defined variable but an error returned says an identified variable
  
  regards

  Refer to Fluent Customization manual under Accessing a Scheme Variable in a UDF
