I think the point of STATIC variables is, you DON'T initialize them
between program calls. At least, not according to this description from
the RPG Reference on static variables. I mean, how do you initialize
something that is not visible outside of its context, such as a
procedure?
Upon occasion I will have a procedure that needs to know if it needs to be
"reset." Maybe it's accumulating some total for groups of data or ...
For example, if one parameter is a flag that is passed to indicate "First
call from this entity" (whatever that entity may be). When the procedure
sees that flag is set, it can do its re-initialization.
Is this what the OP had in mind?
