 Mo> Is there a js function similar to php var_dump($GLOBALS); ?

Not that I'm aware of.  It's easier and less verbose to target the variable
that you want rather than dumping the entire global space:

writeln(JSON.stringify(my_var));

You could use this to dump the global scope of your script:

function scope_dump() {
  Object.keys(js.scope).forEach(function (e) {
    const exclude = [
     'conio',
     'js',
     'stderr',
     'stdin',
     'stdout'
    ];
    if (exclude.indexOf(e) > -1) return;
    writeln(e + ':\r\n' + JSON.stringify(js.scope[e]) + '\r\n');
  });
}

Tweak the 'exclude' array to filter unneeded stuff like 'system', 'msg_area',
'file_area', 'xtrn_area'.  The defaults are there to avoid problems and should
be left in, though some don't matter in certain contexts (like the webserver).
