RE: Naming Global Variables

Then again, with the Outline mode in WDSC, you just expand the variable and
you can see EVERY line where the variable is used, including an indication
of whether it is modified.

Why pass the customer number from proc to proc when a

Next time someone asks you that question, my answer would be "so I don't
have to read through every subroutine to make sure my global variable
isn't being messed with somewhere."  This is why CONST is possibly my
favourite keyword.
