Error using var in Global Code

Solution: Variables cannot be declared in Global Code using var. Use stat instead.

I have this price of code in the global code for the report, to select a date range for the report.

stat gsCompareDate as Date
var vTemp as String
vTemp = @Calendar(@Date, “Select an aging
date”)
If(@Len(vTemp) > 0)
{
gsCompareDate = @ToDate(vTemp)
}
Else
{
gsCompareDate = @Date
}

bit it tells me that the var is not allowed to be declared in global area.

help please

Move the static variable to the top of Global and make your code into a function in Global Code
Now you can call this function from any element by entering "fnCompareDate()" without the quotes.
------------------------------------
Code
Select All
stat gsCompareDate as Date


Function fnCompareDate() as String    //=====================
     var vTemp as String
     vTemp = @Calendar(@Date,"Select an aging date")
     If(@Len(vTemp) > 0) {
	    gsCompareDate = @ToDate(vTemp)
	    } Else {
	    gsCompareDate = @Date
	Return gsCompareDate
	    }
End Function			    //=====================


---------
Notes:
1.  The code above is untested, based on original posting.
2.  Had to replace original invalid quote characters on @Calendar line.

Bob, you need a Return statement in that Function. Or, if you're not returning anything, make it a subroutine.
