Is there a way to make local variables persist for the duration of the program object it was initialized in without regard to the activation group (meaning w/o saying specify actgrp *New)?
No.
We're not an activation group shop (aside from QILE) at the moment.
I'm not sure that you really wanted to end the actgrp, anyway. That would require much more overhead than just reinitializing the variables would. Instead, just insert code that sets the value of the variable back to it's starting point.
Or, use global variables.Or, use a more instantiated approach, such as descriptor logic or opaque pointers. (We've discussed that on this list before, with most everyone agreeing that descriptors are a better idea.)
