Are "global" container existing ?

[Pascal]

Hello,

In FMPro, you can have fields containing the same value in the whole database.
Is there such a thing in Revolution ?

Thanks.

Fields can store any amount of data, if that is what you are asking. How that data is parsed is a question, since the field will simply contain all the data as a whole.

If you had "XXX" & tab & "YYY" & return in your field, you can use the itemDelimiter property to separate the individual terms. In this example the data would format correctly in, say, an excel spreadsheet.

Sorry,

I think I did not formulate my question the right way.
I try another way : How do I manage to create a container (field) whose value is the same on all the cards of the stack ? And if you change its value, the value changes on all cards.

Thanks

one way:

create a field
set its sharedText to true
group the field
set the group's backgroundBehavior bit to true
now when you create a new card that field is there.

another way:

global gMyGlobalData
put SomeStuff into gMyGlobalData
put gMyGlobalDatainto field "xyz"

Great,

I did not knew the shared text property.
Everything works fine.

Thanks
