Title: Re: Witango-Talk: �'data' system variable

Yeah, you are correct.

I wanted to be sure so I created 2 tafs

 

testLocal1.taf

-------------------
<@ASSIGN NAME="TestLocal" VALUE="local" SCOPE="local">
<@ASSIGN NAME="TestRequest" VALUE="request" SCOPE="request">
<@ASSIGN NAME="TestUser" VALUE="User" SCOPE="user">
<A HREF="<@CGI>TestLocal2.taf?<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>">Go to 2</A>

 

And

testLocal2.taf

-------------------
@@local$TestLocal<br>
@@request$TestRequest<br>
@@user$TestUser<br>

 

the result was only the

@@user$TestUser value survived

 

After I Sent the email I realized that it would be crazy if that were the case

:-b

Have you tried using the REQUEST Scope (the new local scope)
@@request$data
In version 5 local scope becomes a custom scope and you have to purge it yourself so it wont step on itself
if you know what I mean ;-)

Is there a system variable called @@data in WiTango 5?  I have code that was working on the previous version, but everywhere I've referenced a local scope variable 'data' the code doesn't work.  When I renamed the variable it was OK...

I don't think that local scope became a custom scope in W5. A custom
scope behaves totally differently than local or request scope does.
It persists across requests. I was under the impression that local
scope is just an "alias" for request scope in W5.
