Natraj, Globals were not designed to be available in functions, unless they are sent in as parameters in the way you did in your second example.

Natraj, There are a couple technical difficulties why this does not work, but if you think it would be important to have that, please open a JIRA with the feature request. We will look into making that possible in future releases. Thank you, Edson 2007/7/3, Natraj Gudla <natraj.gudla(a)gmail.com&gt;: > > Hi Edson, thanks for the update.
