I have seen the following in code snippets around this board for DBPro, but can't fine any mention of it in the help, html or manual.

global intBullets as integer

Can anybody enlighten me as to what this command actually does, what it's effect is, etc.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Andy

well "global" simply make a value global throughout the program ...

AS data typing actually automatically makes a value global, so really don't need it... however another name

local intBullets as integer

would be better as it keeps the value encapsulated to a function

most of the global and local etc... are really just for functions, data types and arrays (^_^)

Thanks guy's,
maybe the team at DB should clean up the html help so that these commands are included, plus honourable mentions for #include and #constant which are there as orphan pages, and don't seem to have a link to any of the main help pages.

Regards
