Re: Initializing static variables

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ah!!  That makes sense now.

What GBLRESET was a %BIF or an OPCODE instead, though?  Then you wouldn't be
relying upon *INLR being used properly to get the desired results. 
 
 C   RESET                     *GLOBAL
or
  C  eval       %Reset(*GLOBAL)

for example?

RESET is the equivalent of reinitializing a variable.  I am asking for a
new keyword (I suggested *GLBREINZ, although perhaps *GLBRESET would be
a more consistent name) that would reinitialize a static variable
whenever the global initialization routine is called.  This would allow
me to reset all those variables by simply turning on *INLR.
