Re: Declaring and using Global Variables

Hi Farj,

A global variable is declared automatically the first time your code name it.
It can only store character values.

There are times when you need to check its value (an if statement or so) without knowing if it has already been initialized. If this is the case, you code first "default_value('<initial_value>', 'global.<your_global_name>')"
where <initial_value> can even be null... (If you don't, you get an error...something about the global having not been declared).
Besides that, it is just a global variable, as it wuold be in Basic code...
Ah! It stands alive between forms in an MDI application.

Hope this helps,
Maurício.
