Re: Automatic Storage for Global RPGLE Variables?

Here's another thought.  If control never returns from MakeXXXX until it is
all through with a given set of global variables, you could copy the global
variables to local variables, set the global variables, and call the next
procedure.  When control returns to MakeXXXX, do whatever else it needs to
do, copy the local variables back to the global variables, and return to the
caller.

This is still using the stack idea, but makes the system do the work.  You
don't have use ALLOC or pointers.  You do have to remember to move each
occurrence of the MODSs individually (easy enough to do in a FOR loop).
