I have a module in a service program that seems to not retain any

Program variables default to use /automatic storage/ which is
allocated anew for each invocation. To define storage that is static
between invocations within the same activation [thus not using *NEW
activation group], define the variable as /static storage/ per:

Help Keywords - Help
STATIC
Type this keyword in the D specifications of sub-procedures
to indicate that a standalone field or data structure is
stored in static storage.
