Referencing Global Variable in Forms DDL (Form Personalization R12)

Question

Team,
I'm saving a profile option in a Global variable GLOBAL.FLINV_PROFILE_VALUE when a form opens.
Then I am clearing the variable using Forms DDL and calling FND_PROFILE.SAVE function.
I need to then reset the profile option with a second call to FND_PROFILE.SAVE. I'm trying to use Forms DDL, i.e.
DECLARE
a BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
a := fnd_profile.SAVE ('PER_SECURITY_PROFILE_ID'
, '''||:global.flinv_profile_value||'''
, ''USER''
, ''1110''
, NULL
, NULL
END;
but I'm not finding a proper way to pass that global variable. Is there a way to reference these variables in the DDL? Should I use 'Call a procedure' and format the call differently?
Any ideas are welcome.
Joe

Not sure why your using an anonymous block. Personalization rules should look like the following in a *.ldt file.
BEGIN FND_FORM_CUSTOM_RULES "314"
FUNCTION_NAME = "INV_INVITSNU"
DESCRIPTION = "Disable Query-Enter Mode"
TRIGGER_EVENT = "WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE"
TRIGGER_OBJECT = "MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS"
SEQUENCE = "20"
CREATED_BY = "34307"
CREATION_DATE = "2012/04/22"
OWNER = "USER123"
LAST_UPDATE_DATE = "2012/04/22"
LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN = "145888118"
ENABLED = "Y"
FIRE_IN_ENTER_QUERY = "N"
FORM_NAME = "INVITSNU"
