RE: Global variable search

[Jerry Adams <Jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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?

D Main   PR

D gVar

D Main  PI
D P1 etc

 * Local variables.
D wVar

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