global variable

Description

Define a global variable and (optionally) assign a value to it, or assign a value to an existing global variable.

Arguments

• name

  Name of the global variable.

• value

  (Optional) Value to assign to the variable.

Valid contexts

This action may be used within the following project items: test modules and user-defined actions.

Notes

• A global variable, subsequent to its declaration, is visible throughout all test modules and invoked actions within one execution run.
• For a given execution of global variable, if name specifies a global variable that already exists, the action merely assigns a new value (in the value argument) to the existing variable.
• Restrictions on usage:
  • A variable may not be declared within a use data set block if it has the same name as any of the data set headers.
  • Same-named local and global variables may not be declared within the same local variable scope level.
• Use variables within pound sign (#) expressions to access their contained values.
