I have a global variable

I tried setting gtotalMales = row["totalMaleExamined"]. The value of
gtotalMales is not changed

Thanks in advance

In which dataset method you have this line of script?

gtotalMales = row["totalMaleExamined"].

Try do this in the "initialize" method:
gTotalMales = 0;

When you use the "var" keyword the variable is declared as local to the
initialize method.

Chandrika,

I dont believe you have access to the row data in the beforeClose. You
should have access to it in the onFetch method.

gtotalMales = 1500, in the onFetch() method also didnot work.

I included this in your example,

<text id="58">
<property name="contentType">html</property>
<text-property name="content"><![CDATA[Value of my global
Variable is <VALUE-OF>gblcounter</VALUE-OF>]]></text-property>
</text>

The value printed out was 0. That means it really didnot change the value
of the global variable within the dataset.

Thanks

Chandrika,

If you are setting this on the onFetch method, it will only be called when
the table is binded to a data set.
If you put the same text you have below after the table it should work.

Chandrika,

I put a a dynamic text control beneath the table and and in the expression
builder I put.
"Value of my counter is " + gblcounter.
I dont think you need the Valueof tag.

The example is still not working even with the dynamic text control and
this is after the table.
Am i just missing something? I scenario i have is to set the value of the
global variable in one dataset and use that in another dataset.

<text-data id="59">
<expression name="valueExpr">"Value of my counter is " +
gblcounter</expression>
<property name="contentType">html</property>
</text-data>
</body>

Value of my counter is 0

Chandrika,

Here is the same example I sent you earlier but I added a second table that
has
a where clause that uses the gblcounter. Note the default parameter is
changed to gblcounter when I bind it to the second table.
