Adding Declarations to the Global Header File
For your convenience, Robot provides a blank header file called Global.sbh.
Global.sbh is a project-wide header file stored in SQABas32 in the project. You can
add declarations to this global header file and/or create your own.
To open Global.sbh:
1. Click File > Open > SQABasic File.
2. Set the file type to Header Files (*.sbh).
3. Select global.sbh and click Open.
Using SQABasic Header Files
After you finish adding global declarations to an SQABasic header file, save the file
before you compile a script or library file that references the header file. Save the
header file by clicking the Save toolbar button.
You do not compile SQABasic header files.
