Global Variables

[jtaljaard]

Is there a method we can use to pass through variables to other components (different forms/reusable parts)?

Currently, we use:
Use Builtin(SET_SESSION_VALUE) With_Args('UDEF=' #COMPCODE.AsString)

But should we later need the value in a different form and we use the get_session_value the value will be reset to 0. What is a method to create a variable that we can constantly reference should we need specific data from it?

The other limitation is that we cant pass multiple variables with set_session_value

Hi jtaljaard,

It depends of what you're trying to achieve and the type of application....You can use Data areas (dtaara) objects to store information, you can create "user space" objects, you can save lists, you can create reusable parts that can use the "scope application" and will hold values in memory for as long as the session is active...

I'm working on a new Newsletter at the moment, where I show an example with SCOPE(*APPLICATIONS) and VL Web components.

Kind regards,
René
