Hello,

I am creating a letter as a layout. Ant inside the letter, I need to print a global variable which was previously computed in a script.

I tried using the Merge Field but it only ended up printing the <<$$variablename>> during Browse mode.

How should I do it?

Thanks in advance

You can't use $$vars that way.

You can create a calc field that uses the $$var and put that on the layout.

Thanks for the quick reply.

But my problem is, I get my data from an Internet site and is in MySQL. If I create calculation fields, will that affect the table structure in MySQL?

You can't use $$vars that way.

You can create a calc field that uses the $$var and put that on the layout.

You can also display a $$variable in a web viewer:

Supersimple example for web viewer calc:

"data:text/html," & $$variable

I need to print a global variable which was previously computed in a script.

You could also have the script put the computed value in a global field.

How???

This doesn't work.

I set a varible in a script that displays the report, but no value shown.
