2.58. Variable *global*

Defines a global variable that will be available in all catalogs with the notation @@VARIABLENAME@@. Variable identifiers must begin with a capital letter, and can contain only word characters (A-Z,a-z,0-9 and underscore). They are case-sensitive. If using the ParseVariables directive, only variables in ALL CAPS will be parsed. These are substituted first in any Interchange page, and can contain any valid Interchange tags including catalog variables.

   Variable   DOCUMENT_ROOT   /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs

If a variable is called with @_VARIABLE_@, and there is no catalog Variable with its name, the global Variable value will be inserted.

There are several standard variables which should not be used:

MV_FILE

MV_NO_CRYPT

MV_PAGE

CURRENCY, MV_CURRENCY

LANG, MV_LANG
