Depends on how the procedure is built.

If it's a subprocedure inside a main program (without external modules or
service programs), then a subprocedure has access to all the variables and
fields that are defined in the main line of the program.

If the procedure is defined outside of the main program (in a module or
service program), then it does *NOT* have access to variables & fields
defined in the main program.
