How to Add a Global Variable to a Codeunit in Dynamics NAV

To add a global variable to a codeunit, use the following procedure.

To add a global variable

1. Open the C/AL Editor, choose View, and then choose C/AL Globals.

   Note

   For more information about how to open the C/AL Editor, see How to: Modify an Existing Codeunit.

2. In the C/AL Globals window, choose the Variables tab.

3. Enter a name and select a data type.

   If the data type that you select corresponds to an application object, you must also select a subtype, that is, the name of a specific object in the database.

   If you select OCX, Automation, or DotNet, then you must add a subtype. For more information, see the following topics:

     If you select text or code, you must define a length for the variable. The default length is 10 characters for code and 30 characters for text.
