I made the change and I still get an error (and also, yep isDatasubEnabled and isReconEnabled are functions within the same script)

Code:

function print_daemon_options {
    echo "Start Daemons - Please enter one or a combination of the following:"
    
    if isDatasubEnabled && isReconEnabled; then
        echo "1 = CGT, 2 = Subscriber, 3 = Order Monitor, 4 = Revaluations, 5 = Reconciliation, 6 = All, 7 = Exit"
        allowedInput="1 2 3 4 5 6 7"
    
    elif isDatasubEnabled && isReconEnabled=0; then
        echo "1 = CGT, 2 = Subscriber, 3 = Order Monitor, 4 = Revaluations, 6 = All, 7 = Exit"
        allowedInput="1 2 3 4 6 7"

    elif isDatasubEnabled=0 && isReconEnabled; then
        echo "1 = CGT, 3 = Order Monitor, 4 = Revaluations, 5 = Reconciliation, 6 = All, 7 = Exit"
        allowedInput="1 3 4 5 6 7"
        
    else
        echo "1 = CGT, 3 = Order Monitor, 4 = Revaluations, 6 = All, 7 = Exit"
        allowedInput="1 3 4 6 7"
    fi
    
    echo $allowedInput
}


function stop_daemons {
    print_daemon_options

    echo $(allowedInput)
}

Start Daemons - Please enter one or a combination of the following:
1 = CGT, 2 = Subscriber, 3 = Order Monitor, 4 = Revaluations, 5 = Reconciliation, 6 = All, 7 = Exit
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
stop_daemons: ./wmfo_menu.sh[383]: allowedInput: not found

echo

echo(3XCURSES)						  X/Open Curses Library Functions					    echo(3XCURSES)

NAME

       echo, noecho - enable/disable terminal echo

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib 
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       int echo(void);

       int noecho(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  echo()  function enables Echo mode for the current screen. The noecho() function disables Echo mode for the current screen. Initially,
       curses software echo mode is enabled and hardware echo mode of the tty driver is disabled. The echo() and noecho() functions control  soft-
       ware echo only. Hardware echo must remain disabled for the duration of the application, else the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
