How do i import a value from a session called in special option of form without using the current session script ?

You can try this in the 'zoom.from.all' section of your code:

import("variable name in parent", target.variable)


Example: if you want to import the sales order number that they save in the zooms, you can write:


zoom.from.all:
on.entry:
import("zoom.orno", zoom.orno)

However, if the parent program does not export and / or have the variable "zoom.orno" declared as external, you can't get it without changing the source.

Good luck

If the scenario is different from what Lisa discussed i.e .u wish to get the value of a variable of program A (which is called from program B) in program B , u need to write following statement in program A in the end.program section or switch.to.process function.

export("variable_in_program_B",variable_in_program_A)

variable_in_program_A must be declared extern. Alternatively u can use put.var function with pre-defined variable parent as process argument in the child program.

NB - Please do not use the import statement in the parent program in such case.
