Total number of Global Alterable Values question

[mobichan]

I thought I read this somewhere before, but is there any drawback to using Global Values beyond Global Value Z (ie Gloabl Value AA, AB, AC, etc). I seem to recall someone saying that AA was the same as A and so on.

Not as far as I'm aware... especially seeing as you can rename your variables.

You can have approximately 20,000 global values and strings each.

Thanks for the info LB.

You can have approximately 20,000 global values and strings each.

Glad I read this instead of taking time to see myself what the maximum number of global values and strings was that you could have.

Haha yeah I tried once, only got to around BB.

LB. Do you have a reference for that and I will put that in the Technical Manual.

Thanks,

Marv, I have quoted the following from the MMF2 Extension SDK:

	PROPID_DYNITEM_ALTVALUE_FIRST=0x50000,
	PROPID_DYNITEM_ALTVALUE_LAST =0x50019,

	PROPID_DYNITEM_ALTSTRING_FIRST=0x50800,
	PROPID_DYNITEM_ALTSTRING_LAST =0x50809,

	PROPID_DYNITEM_BEHAVIOR_FIRST=0x51000,
	PROPID_DYNITEM_BEHAVIOR_LAST =0x51FFF,

	PROPID_APP_ANDROID_PERM_FIRST = 90001,
	PROPID_APP_ANDROID_PERM_LAST = 90105,

	PROPID_APP_GLOBALVALUE_FIRST = 100000,
	PROPID_APP_GLOBALVALUE_LAST =  199998,

	PROPID_APP_GLOBALSTRING_FIRST = 200000,
	PROPID_APP_GLOBALSTRING_LAST =  299998,

It appears I was wrong. You can have 99999 each, not 20,000 each. I have a bad memory
