Re: [WebDNA] Issue with variable inside a Function

numero = 114235

texte = 1838 In programming, respectfully, setting a global constant is a ridiculous=20 thing to do in this situation. Constants, especially global constants, are for server-wide vars that=20 don't change much. I would hate to see WSC recommending their users set temporary, permanent, and server-wide variables on a regular basis. Though I think the idea of '[Store]' has some potential, why would an=20 age-old idea of constants be implemented this way? Why not start with a=20 standard... something like PHP's define. [define blah=3Dblah] or [define scope=3Dglobal blah=3Dblah] Then it's a variable that can't change.. [blah] [:named-global:blah] Constants are relatively easily set anyway and this entire "feature" is=20 really easy to create without a [store] or [define]. Anyway, back to the issue... Palle, I think you'd have to post some code. One of the best things about WebDNA is it's [function] and [scope]=20 contexts... and one of the worst things about WebDNA is it's [function]=20 and [scope] contexts. ;-) .... because... unfortunately, WSC has never properly addressed the full=20 documentation, nor the improvements to these contexts... but if you post=20 your code, some of us may be able to help.
