Within Lua, mq.TLO.Macro.Variable('macro_variable_name')() exposes an outer MQ2DataVar, but not a global variable. Can the global variables please also be exposed because it forces a macro to be running at all times (and not changed) in order to carry variables to exchange data between peers? Since global variables persist beyond a given macro, Lua scripts could communicate independently of whatever macro happens to be running at the time.

from any Lua script
mq.cmd('/declare myVarName int global 99')
val = mq.TLO.Macro.Variable('myVarName')()
this returns val as nil.
However, if you have a macro running then
mq.cmd('/declare myVarName int outer 99')
val = mq.TLO.Macro.Variable('myVarName')()
will return 99 for val.
