Re: Setting variables, argumunts in defun

[wael-zwaiter]

There seems to be some problem with the following test
Am getting "Wrong number of arguments: (2 . 2), 4"


(defun test (objv)
  "Set some local variables."

  (pcase objv
    ( "enable"
      (setq-local devi '(0.18 -0.18)
                  scal  0.2))

    ( "disable"
      (setq-local devi '(0.0 0.0)
                  scal  1.0)) ) )

(defun myenable ()
  "Enable."
  (interactive)
  (test "enable") )
