Does not work [Command Inputs API Sample]

This is [Command Inputs API Sample], but it doesn't work and can't be debugged.

It is inconvenient not to work because it is very helpful in determining the design.

By commenting the following part, it is possible to display it, although it is not the intended operation.

Hi Kandennti,

Try running the code in the terminal. You'll get an error saying that the global call should be done before the first refference to that parameter. Basically move global _rowNumber to the top of the function.

Somehow the method from the example used to work in the past. However when you wanted to 'compile' using CPython you also had to comply to this rule (so it's not new in python 3.7 and whas already there in 3.5). I'm not sure where is came from but it seems to be a standard python rule now.

Thanks PinRudolf.

I didn't know the rules.

I hope that the sample will be corrected soon.
