Options
When a Global Definition block is opened the Block Options will be shown
In the options view the name and description of the block can be changed as well as the type of the block can be set.
There are four types of global definitions:
- Standard: Global definition variables which can be used normal in the code
- Constants: These variable can only be read in the code and the value should be set in the definition itself
- Retain: Variables defined in this type of block will be retained variables. There should only be one block of this type.
- Redefines: Variables in this type of block will be redefined variables.
| While retained variables can be used in all AMT objects that support global variables, they will only retain
their values when used inside a Form. When retained variables are used in reports, global performable routines etc. they will behave as a standard global variable. |
