Is it possible to code a procedure in a service program such that it can
retain values from one call to the next?  I haven't been able to accomplish
this and I could cut down on some logic if it can be done.

An example would be: if a flag has not been set (procedure never called
before), retrieve some static values from a database.  If the flag IS set,
those values are already set and available for use in the current call to
the procedure.

Thanks
