hmRep_SET VARIABLE OBJECT ( Area ; varname ; object)

Introduced in v19.0, Preemptive: yes

Parameter	Type	In/Out	Description
Area	Longint	→	hmReports area
Varname	Text	→	variable name
object	Object	→	object variable

Description

The command hmRep_SET VARIABLE OBJECT adds an object variable to the hmReports-Area. The variable is available in all currently open reports and all future reports. The variable stack is only temporary and will not be saved into a report. Pass the variable name into the parameter varname. The name of the variable is not case sensitive. So myvariable is the same as MyVariable. Like in 4D. Important: no copy of the object will created, only a reference!

If a variable with the variable name exists, the variable will be overwritten.

Example

The following example adds a variable vt_myvariable into the area reparea with the value “My value”:

var $object : Object

$object:=New object
$object.text:="some text"

hmRep_SET VARIABLE OBJECT(reparea; "vo_myvariable"; $object)
