global.set("Lamp\_count", Lamp\_count);  
I am using above statement to set a global value .I am able to get the value back using statement below.  
global.get("Lamp\_count");  
But I cannot see this in the window/right frame which get opened using menu "Context Data".  
I can see more that 50 global values in the Window .Is there any limits set to display global data in UI?

Double check the value of the variable Lamp\_count. If it is set to `undefined` then it will not be stored.

If you are persisting the data in filesystem you can also check the `global.json` file that is located at home directory/context. You will see that each stored value is a property of an object.

You are right ,the variable was reset to "undefined" at another location .  
Thank you so much for the quick reply.
