Answer 1

The easiest way is to use the suggested [Return] tag at the end of your keyword, though other ways exist.

Using the keyword Set Global Variable, you can make a variable accessible outside of the keyword it's run in without having to return anything from the keyword itself. This is useful if you want to avoid cluttering up your main variable list and have a few variables sitting in the background, but use it with as much caution as you would any global variable.
