Declare and initialize a global variable

Funny... I tried that syntax inside a function declaration and got a syntax error as well.

As I recall, when making variable declarations that are NOT a parameter of the function, you cannot declare a default value.

For example, THIS is allowed

function blah(i:integer =8):Variant;

begin
    
end;

while this is not

function blah:Variant;
var 
    i:integer = 8;
begin
    
end;

It's been a while since I've done DelphiScript work... but I do know that it's different than Delphi.  While Delphi proper allows for assigning default values to global variables, I don't think that applies to the DelphiScript implementation in TestComplete.  There really isn't a "global" scope in a TestComplete project of script code so it doesn't apply.
