IDEAScript Questions

global variable

Hi, I am new to using IDEAScripting. I would like to define global variable(s) in the main sub that I can then use in functions. Could you give me an example of how to do this? I am doing this so that I can change the name of the database to re-use the macro. Currently I am having to define the same variable in each function. 
thanks for your time,
Mike

Export multiple databases to one Excel file

Hello,
I am looking for a script that allows me to export multiple databases (4 standard databases) to one Excel file in multiple tabs, such as: 
- IDEA Database A = Excel tab A
- IDEA Database B = Excel tab B
I found a script on this forum where you can indicate which IDEA databases should be exported to one Excel file, because in my case there are four identical IDEA databases at all times, I would like to leave out this window and export the 4 databases concerned to one Excel file with multiple tabs by default. 

Compare Data Set to a list of Keywords and find (contains) matches

Hi.  I am working on a project to compare a data set DATATABLE with customer names (CUSTNAME field) against a separate table KEYWORDS with 1000 words.  I want to either filter, or extract/return, results if there is a the CUSTNAME field contains any word in KEYWORDS.
Is there a way to do this?  I'm thinking probably a loop to go through each of the data elements in the key words table and then to do a "contains" comparison with isini or something?  Just wanted to see if there was a way, or code available, to do this.  Thanks!

Script to knock off positive and negative values from a data set

Hi Brian,
Hope you're doing good. Am looking for a Idea script which can be used to knock off positive and negative values from a data set taking into considerations the GL codes as well.
Currently, I am able to perform this in an excel file by using the below mentioned formula,
“=(COUNTIFS($B$2:B2,B2,$A$2:A2,A2)<=MIN(COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$1000000,-B2,$A$2:$A$1000000,A2),COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$1000000,B2,$A$2:$A$1000000,A2)))”
