Error while using meta commands

anagh

I am trying to use meta commands in my Gcode. I have a global variable "printing" declared in my config file like so.
global printing = 0

Within my Gcode, when a certain condition is met, I change its value to 1. So it acts as a switch. In my Gcode I have this line in several places.
set global.printing=1
Or
set global.printing=0

When I run the prints, I get this error:
Error: in GCode file line 83 column 5: meta command: expected a global or local variable
Cancelled printing file 0:/gcodes/RIP_10x10x40_layer ht 0.11_wd 0.6_break det test.gcode, print time was 0h 0m

Line 83 is the first place where the variable appears in my Gcode file.

I can go to the console and type set global.printing=1 to change the value of the variable and it works fine, but when I use the same line in my Gcode file, it gives me this error. Can someone help me with this please? Thank you!

@anagh

You have

set global printing = 1

instead of

set global.printing = 1

@fcwilt Of course! That was embarrassing. Thanks a lot for your help.
