jQuery making a global variable

So, I have a following js var:

var rhpp_id = jQuery(this).parents('.rhp').data("pi");

This is inside of function. However I am using the same line in multiple functions and I was wondering if there is a way of making this exact line as a global variable that I can use in other functions.

Thanks.

Define a var outside of your functions and set it's value inside the function where $(this) is valid:

var rhpp_id = "";

$('#divname').click(function () {
    rhpp_id = jQuery(this).parents('.rhp').data("pi");
});

Then you can access it globally.
