 getglobal(variable)

getglobal(variable)

Retrieve an existing global variable’s value.

Syntax

getglobal(variable)

Parameters

• variable

  The name of the global variable to retrieve the value of.

Return Value

Returns the value of the specified global variable.

Notes

• Normally, a global variable’s value can be accessed simply by including it in any expression, or just preceding with a #. getglobal() is only necessary when you need to access the value of a global variable which would otherwise be invisible at a given point in the test, due to the existence of a local variable of the same name.
• Refer to Variables for details about scope of variables.
