define a variable and assign it a value. 1

[NitzGuy]

Hi,
I was just wondering if there is a way to define a variable and assign it a value at the same time outside of a function (just below the GLOBALS "glbs.all&quot.
For example

DEFINE variable1 INTEGER
LET variable1 = 0

Thanks
Jason

Jason:

No, unfortunately Informix 4GL is too brain dead for that. Your definition of variable1 when assigned a value must be assigned in the main or some other function.

If you didn't know, in Informix Rapid Development system, RDS, variable is automatically assigned to 0 where in the compiled 4GL it's undefined.
