8.8 Technically Speaking
LANSA for the Web graphic variables are based upon LANSA system variables. When you create a graphic variable using the Web Function Editor, a LANSA system variable is automatically defined. Because graphic variables are defined as system variables, they are system wide in LANSA. All partitions in the LANSA system will use the same set of graphic variables.
Note: When you import or export your application, you are moving system level variables! You will impact all partitions in your LANSA system.
A LANSA for the Web graphic variable must be defined as:
- a static (STATIC) alphanumeric (ALPHA) system variable in LANSA
- a variable with a length of 255 characters (decimals = 0)
- a variable which is evaluated by the 3GL program, W3@P2100.
