==Syntax==
{{Template:Object:GlobalList syntax}}

===Syntax terms===
<table class="syntaxTable">
<tr><th>%persObjList</th><td>An <var>Arraylist of Object PersistentObjectInfo</var> object variable.</td></tr>

<tr><th nowrap="true"><var>%(Object)</var></th>
<td>The class name in parentheses denotes a [[Notation conventions for methods#Shared methods|shared method]]. <var>GlobalList</var> can also be invoked via an <var>Object</var> class object variable, which may be <var>Null</var>.</td></tr>

<tr><th>matchString</th>
<td>An optional, case-sensitive, pattern-matching string that identifies the name(s) of the global(s) whose information is to be returned to <var class="term">%persObjList</var>. The default if no string is provided is to return the information of all global objects.</td></tr>
</table>

==Usage notes==
<var>GlobalList</var> is also a shared method in the <var>PersistentObjectInfo</var> class. 
Consequently:
<ul>
<li>Both of these statements are valid:
 
<p class="code">%persInfoList = %(object):globalList

%persInfoList = %(persistentObjectInfo):globalList</p></li>

<li>You can use the <var>Object</var> class <var>GlobalList</var> method the same way the the <var>PersistentObjectInfo</var> class <var>GlobalList</var> method is used in the example in [[PersistentObjectInfo class#Using GlobalList or SessionList|Using GlobalList or SessionList]].</li>
</ul>

==Examples==
See [[Global and session objects#Using system class methods to access global and session objects|Using system class methods to access global and session objects]] and see the <var>PersistentObjectInfo</var> class <var>GlobalList</var> [[GlobalList (PersistentObjectInfo function)#Examples|Examples]].
