Global variables

Global variables

A variable is called global if it is known in all modules. For example, it makes sense to always know which user is currently working on the system.

Most global variables are therefore also defined within the modules of the system logon. (A variable is defined in InstantView®using the GlobalVar(variableName) statement)
