Check if a global variable is set

I want to use a macro in multiple test suites. In some test suites I use a global variable and in others I don’t. So in some test suites the variable will be ‘not defined’. Is there a way to check if the global variable is set?

You could have a macro that does nothing else then setting all used global variables to “0”, so that they are defined.

store 0  globalVarA
store 0  globalVarB
store 0  globalVarC...

and then use this macro that the top of every test suite. Will this solve the issue?

Interesting idea, thank you. I’ll try to do it like this.

I know this is an old post, but maybe somebody will find it useful.

A good way to check whether a variable is defined or not is to test it in an “if” and catch the error if it’s undefined.

For example:
onError | #goto | VarUndefined
if | #{globalMyVariable}
gotoLabel | MyVariableAlreadyDefined
end
label | VarUndefined
---- do whatever you want to do if the variable is not defined —
label | MyVariableAlreadyDefined
---- do whatever you want to do if the variable is already defined ----
