Every so often I come across a situation where I'd like to use a static variable in a subprocedure because I want to keep that variable's value between subP calls - and if I can keep it encapsulated and not have to make it a global variable, all the better. But the one thing I can never really get a grip on is how to control when I should be resetting that value. A typical use for this may be a subprocedure that toggles a value on the screen. So if I could call toggleValue() the subP would already know the current toggle state.
Should I add a *nopass parm that is used to tell the subP that I want the toggle value reset? I'm just curious how the general community is doing this. I'm currently using a global variable to control this (or if not global a higher level local variable).
Thanks,
