Re: Procedure Initialization

It's also very tempting to use it for memory allocations (for example, you
can allocate an array dynamically and keep it local to the procedure,
reallocating it as needed). The problem is releasing the memory, but that's
an issue for activation group boundaries. It's the kind of thing that makes
ILE very powerful, but also requires a little more upfront architecture
work.

Statics have their place, but their initialization can be an issue.
Using ACTGRP *NEW rather then say QILE, will give them behavior more
like a module global variable (initialized each program activation.)

It would be nice to be able to specify a static that initialized with
the program. For example, STATIC(*MODULE)
