In the literature, it's called 'scope.'  A variable's scope can be 
thought of as places the variable can be used.  Traditional RPG/400 code 
was easy because all variables are global in scope: any part of the 
program can use any variable.

ILE has brought us new rules regarding scope, and you've encountered 
one.  Variables are scoped to the module they are defined in.  You can 
override that behaviour with EXPORT and IMPORT keywords on the D 
specifications, but I strongly advise against it.
