VALUE

The assignfileglobal statement performs an assignment, much like an equals sign or the assign statement. However, the assignfileglobal statement only performs the assignment to a fileglobal variable.


Parameters

This statement has two parameters:

variable – is the name of the variable that you want to modify.

value – calculates the value that will be placed into the variable.


Description

This statement performs an assignment, much like an equals sign or the assign statement. However, the assignfileglobal statement only performs the assignment to a fileglobal variable. (If the variable doesn’t exist at all, it is created automatically and given the specified value.)

The procedure below will assign the value 714 to the AreaCode fileglobal – even if there is a local or windowglobal variable named AreaCode, or a field with that name.

assignfileglobal AreaCode,"714"
