Is there a "free" variable I can use in BaaN script???

Not sure I understand what you are asking - how about some more details? Exactly what are you trying to accomplish.

No 'free' variables in Baan as far as I know. If you want global variables, then just declare them in a dll or function, and then you can use them whereever applicable.

There is a variable free$ you can use.
As far as I know is this an externally declared, string variable. So you can use it to pas on to zoom sessions or reports.

Hopefully you can find good use for it.

I think what you may be asking is are there any unused fields in the tables you can use in your scripts. Some applications to have spare long, strings, and integers for your use to store your own data. Baan does not have these extra fields.

If you can give a little detail as to what you have, source code, no source code, etc.. and what you are trying to accomplish, there are several regular posters that could give you different approaches to a solution.

Besides free$ (50 chr long) , u may have procesinfo$ (200 chr long) which is used only to get information on menu strings (which is not used normally) . So it can be used to store / transfer some temp values from1 program to another.
