        Fact. Every business rule has a global object where you can store global variables.

          Tim is correct, but you must enable the global functions under properties

            This setting allows you to reference the business rule in a member formula. The globals object is always enabled.

              Fact. Can be done in the following way:

              Dim MyVariable As Integer = 5 (Can be done with other datatypes such as "String")

              Globals.SetObject("DesiredGlobalVariableNameHere", MyVariable)

              Globals.GetObject("DesiredGlobalVariableNameHere")

                Fact... I think...

                Change the settings under Variables?
