Global Variables.
Each site contains 5 global variables to be used between the scripts if needed:
MyByte(Index) As Byte
MyBoolean(Index) As Boolean
MyInteger(Index) As Integer
MyLong(Index) As Long
MyFloat(Index) As Single
MyDouble(Index) As Double
MyString(Index) As String
MyDate(Index) As Date
Index can be a 0,1,2,3,4 equaling 5 total variables per each type.
To use a variable just assign a value to it without declaring it and this variable will retain its
value until SiController is closed or the variable is reassigned.
Example:
MyByte(0) = 5
MyString(1) = “Hello World”
Each variable can only hold a certain value before it overflows. See the table for the range of
each variable type.
