Re: Global Variables in a Service Program

What I do not see, is how I would access this common data in my programs
without having to define the variables in the program using the Import 
keyword.
If I do that, then I do not have any advantage in a service program with the 
data
in it.

Right.  You'll need an import, but sometimes data needs to be shared across 
three (3) or more programs or service programs, but it may not be necessary to 
share procedures across the same programs or service programs.  In that case, 
why not isolate just the data into a shared service program?
