Scripting: access global vars out of <SCRIPT> tag? [message #240680]

Hello,

I have a simple report with a text field.
In the OnInitialize trigger of the report I set a global var:

reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("myVar", "myValue");

In the textfield I use the <SCRIPT> tag as follows:

<SCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
document.write(<VALUE-OF>reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable( "myVar")</VALUE-OF>);
</SCRIPT>

but if I run the report I see just a blank page, but I want to see myValue
on the screen.
What I am doing wrong?

How can I use the vars from reportContext within the <script> tag?

Thanks for any help!

Try

<SCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
document.write("<VALUE-OF>reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable( "myVar")</VALUE-OF>");
</SCRIPT>
