GLOBALS

[maxxx]

I'm interesting can i or not
save information from field to global variable
in Developer 6.0 and use this global variable in other blocks
(note: this field is key field and not visible)?

I know that i can do it with visible fields.

If you are talking forms, then yes, you store the variable's
value in a global variable value and you can use it anywhere,
even in a differerent form, until it is erased. Just doublecheck
whether you have to declare the global first in pre-form or in
when-new-form-instance; I don't have any reference material
here. Jim

P.S. "Declare" for a global is not exactly the correct terminology.
What I mean is that you create a global variable and assign it an
initial value in the same statment. Jim

A global variable is automatically created when a variable is prefixed with the keyword "global".
So, when i say
:global.g_empno :=:blk.empno;

the global variable called "g_empno" is created and a value from the block "blk", column "empno" is assigned to it.
