SOLVED - How do you carry variable from stack to sub stack?

[admin12]

Hello all,

How do you carry a global variable from one stack to a substack?

I have this set of commands on every page of every stack in my project:

on opencard
--Create a global variable for the db
global dbID
global curUserID
global UN

put numtochar(39) into SQ

I then proceed to login to the database (works fine normally) and then access whatever data I need.

I just created a substack called CV with three pages - pgCV1, pgCV2 and pgCV3

I need the login credentials of the user to carry over so the fields on these pages can be populated with the existing data on the database.

The important variable is dbID and curUserID

What do I need to do, other than the global command, to make this happen?

Globals are valid across any LC session, however you need it. You must declare it in the scripts that you use, however.

So if you have a handler in your mainstack:

Code: Select all

global ccc

on mouseUp
   put 5 into ccc
end mouseUp

And run this in your substack

Code: Select all

global ccc

on mouseUp
   answer ccc
end mouseUp

You are done. Globals are sometimes overused. After you get the hang of them, look into custom properties.
