Use it just like you'd use a procedure or a function which is declared in a package: precede variable's name with package name, for example

PKG_TEST.MY_VARIABLE

Please post code associated with "declared a global variable in a package specification".

Is that a Global or a global?

Hi

we cannot call a variable declared in the package through
forms6i directly,

Instead we can define a table type variable and use that

Thanks

Forms 6i CAN invoke a function in the package that will return the contents of the package variable. It can also call another function that will store a value into a package variable.

Foe example, ":blk.itm := my_pkg.get_var1;" where 'get_var1' is simply "function get_var1 return varchar2 is begin return(body_var); end;"
