BFGetVar

Description:	Retrieves a previously stored value using $BFSetVar. Allows a value to be passed from one transaction to another in conjunction with $BFSetVar, or when value is used multiple times within a transaction. Each virtual user has its own variable space, so values are not shared between them.
Parameters:	VarName-An alphanumeric identifier of the value stored.
Syntax:	$BFGetVar("VarName")
Example:	$BFSetVar("Totalrow", "2") $BFGetVar("Totalrow") ; if $BFSetVar sets the variable "Totalrow" to 2, $BFGetVar("Totalrow") returns the number 2.
