remove coercion dot

[hiNI]

Hello,

I was going through one of the CLD solutions and wanted to make a type def for the "Token" array (please see attached Type Def.vi file).  Is it possible to get rid of the coercion dot that appears on the Type Def.vi file?

Thanks.

Why? that coercion dot just indicates that you are connecting a regular cluster array to a typdef cluster array.

There is no performance penalty. Just ignore it.

One simple solution would be to make the array element a typdef (instead of the array). See attached modification.

And here's one possibility if you want to retain the typdef'd array.

I never make an array a typedef.  If I need that, then I make the elements in the array the typedef.  It makes life a lot easier on many fronts.

Yup very rarly do I ever make a type def that isn't a enum, or a cluster.  I do it some times on things that I know need to be linked so in the future when updates come, I can just update the type, but this is quite rare.
