I'm using MathCAD 15 in Windows 7 environment. I'm trying to create a vector using a range variable or at least that's what I think I'm doing. I thought I could set up a similar command sequence in user defined function as below:
But as you can see in my user defined function, MathCAD is not happy with me or range variables don't work the same way in a user defined function as they do in the regular environment.

Just to emphasize the point Luc is making, you cannot use range variables inside a loop in the way you want (and as seems reasonable). You have to use a for or while loop instead. You can still define a range variable to use, either inside a program or externally, but you have to handle them differently.
Oops, pressed a button too soon. I forgot to add an example of the normal use of a for loop and a non-looping recursive method.

First off, the default start index for a vector is set by ORIGIN, which normally is 0. Apparently you've set it to 1 otherwise junk[0 would have been shown.
To create a vector in a program do:
This one is independent of the value of ORIGIN.
Success!

Stuart, your implementation isn't ORIGIN-proof...
