Referencing Variables declared in another field?

[brandonkboswell]

Sorry if this is common knowledge, but how can I reference the value of a variable created in one field from another field?

For example field "subTotal" contains a variable called rSubTotal

A function inside another field ("total") wants to call the current value of rSubTotal.

How can I achieve this in LiveCycle Designer?

Thank you and have a wonderfuld day,

The scope of the variable is only for the duration of the script. You coudl write the result of the var to a hidden field and then reference the hidden field.

Is there anyway to pass the variable without the hidden field?

You can create a gloabal variable in the Form Properties (under variables). Remember to get the value of that var you will need to access the value property not the rawValue property.

I tried using global variables, but always recieved errors because Global Variables are of the type "string" and not integers. Is there a way to create a global variable that is an integer.

You can cast it as on Int/Float by using parseInt or parseFloat when you use it. Unfortunately those vars are strings only.
