The global section of the Code Module can contain functions visible throughout the module and to any subreports below the current report.
To declare such functions, right-click on the Code Explorer and select Module. The treeview will change to display the global section.
Click on the Programs node – the listview will display any extant functions. If you have not declared any, the listview will be empty.
Right-click on an empty space in the listview – note that the first two menu items are New Function and New Procedure. Selecting either of these items will create a declaration and an implementation stub.
If you select New Function, a new function named GlobalFunction1 will be added to the listview and the following implementation will be added to the Code Editor:
function GlobalFunction1: Variant;
begin
Result :=
end;
Likewise, if you select New Procedure, a new procedure named GlobalProcedure1 will be added to the listview and the following implementation will be added to the Code Editor:
