How do you share variable values across multiple blocks within an email?

Question

I have a @variable1 defined in an email HTML content block that is defined. When the email iterator starts, I would like to use the value of @variable1 in a second HTML content block.

How do I do this?

Answer 1

Ampscript process from the top down so as long as the variable is defined in a content block above where you are referencing it, it will work.
