RE: Global variable search -- RPG400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The prototype MAIN is for the program/module, not for a subprocedure. No P-specs. Therefore, everything defined there is global.

David, et al. RE: David's post in rpg400-l today

I'm confused.
I guess I too would think the wVar would be local.
What am I missing ?
Once the wVar is defined underneath the PI, within the subprocedure, how
could it be a global var?

a program with this kind of structure :

D Main PR
D P1 etc

* Global variables.
D gVar

D Main PI
D P1 etc

* Local variables.
D wVar

The programmer did not seem to realise that wVar is global.
