Global values in Application Programming (Read 2268 times)

	I am trying to set a Global Variable in the Application programming so I don't have to repeat code in every form. Code Stat gsDrive as String var vDrive as String vDrive = @GetLocalEnvVar("HOMEDRIVE") IF vDrive = "G:" THEN {vDrive = "C:"} gsDrive = vDrive Keep getting error message: "Static declarations in functions and subroutines are not allowed" Does this mean I cannot set a Global Value in the Application Programming?

	I can't remember but I thought you couldn't assign variables in Global, but you could assign Stats.

	There is a difference between Stats and GlobalValues. You can set GlobalValues in Global code. They are set with the GlobalValue() command. But in your case you want ClientLocalValue(), so that each instance of Sesame has it's own personal one and is not shared application wide. You can use Stats in GLOBAL CODE and they are a variable that can be used by all programming events on that particular layout. -Ray

	So, from Ray's comments you could modify your Application code like this? Code Stat gsDrive as String gsDrive = @GetLocalEnvVar("HOMEDRIVE") IF gsDrive = "G:" THEN {gsDrive = "C:"} ClientLocalValue("HomeDrive", gsDrive) =============== // Get this value in your normal code with @ClientLocalValue("HomeDrive"): vDrive = @ClientLocalValue("HomeDrive") Does this look right Ray?

	Thanks for the ideas, Bob and Ray. (Hey, you guys should hook up for a radio show).
