Hi,
I want information about free$ variable and how can I use it.
Thanks.

It's a global variable which you can use in any script you like. Since it's global you can use it to pass info between different scripts.
However be aware of side effects, any script can use/overwrite the values you store in it.

I agree with Han. You need to use this only as a last resort. If a user has two sessions running and they both use free$, you will get undesired results.

I've used it on a couple of occasions on forms in reports. This allows user input to be passed to the report script and can therefore be used for adding ranges to report sessions.
I've had to use this method as I do not have access to the source code or the ability to create my own session scripts.
