[SOLVED] Set Global Variable or Session Variable from button

Applications Forms
#1

I am getting back into SC after a few years away from it.
Man did I know a lot more then than I do now.

I have a form that has 4 buttons on it. They actually run the same grid, but I want to set a global or session variable when I click the button, so later in my scriptinit code of my grid I can adjust the “where” clause.

Can I do that, or if so, how?

It’s probably something simple but it escapes me on how to do it at this point.

Sort of got it going but still having one issue.
On the button which I have setup as php I put this code.
$_SESSION[‘parm1’] = “closest”;

Then I can check this in my grid. That works, but when I go to my grid I get a blank screen that has a button that says “OK”.
This didn’t come from me, so I need to find a way to get rid of that.

Any ideas?

I advise you to use the standard SC way of using [global var]. You can declare them as session variable. To avoid the ok button you need to apply a sc_redir macro. Be aware that if you have pending updates you need to commit the update manually or the update will get lost.

Thanks, that worked.
