How to pass variable with value from one script unit to another script unit within a Project

Hi,



I am trying to pass variable from one script to another script within a Project.



I have added a Department in Add_Department Script Unit. The added value stored in a variable. In Edit_Department Script unit we need that added Department value.



Seems like after running Add_Department script, if we pass the added department value in Edit Department it is retriving the passed value.



Anyone please help on this.





Regards

Chitra.

    Hi,



    Thanks for the reply. We followed the same with the link you have given. But it is not working.



    without running the whole Add_Department function, how can we call the variable and the stored value directly to Edit_Department. script Unit.

    You must declare the variable outside the function for it to be a "global" variable, and also have the USEUNIT <scriptnamewithglobalvariable> added to scripts that need to acccess the global variable. Additionally you can use project variables.



    JScript Example:



    UNIT1:



    //USEUNIT UNIT2

    function main(){

    wshell.popup(myGlobalVariable);

    myGlobalVariable = 'test2';

    secondary();

    wshell.popup(myGlobalVariable);

    }





    UNIT2:



    wshell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');

    myGlobalVariable = 'test1';



    function secondary(){

    wshell.popup(myGlobalVariable);

    myGlobalVariable = 'test3';

    }
