Try this out :

Code (glbasic) Select
TYPE CMAP
NAME$
BACKGROUND
MAP[20][15]
ENDTYPE

GLOBAL test AS CMAP

test.NAME$="TEST"
DEBUG "Before Function : "+test.NAME$+"\n"
MAP_LOAD("Z",test)
DEBUG "After Function : "+test.NAME$+"\n"
END


FUNCTION MAP_LOAD: filename$, pMAP AS CMAP
pMAP.NAME$ = "A"
ENDFUNCTION


BYREF doesn't need to be used when TYPE's are passed.

Correct me if im wrong, MAP cant be passed as byref, because its a type not a variable.
SO you can pass a byref variable into the type.
This works:


Code (glbasic) Select

TYPE CMAP
NAME$
BACKGROUND
MAP[20][15]
ENDTYPE


FUNCTION MAP_LOAD: BYREF NAME$, MAP AS CMAP
MAP.NAME$ = NAME$
ENDFUNCTION


One other thing.....dont use all capital letters in any declarations.
GLBasic uses all capital case variables, and you may find interference here.
Bing ChatGpt is pretty smart :O
