RE: Accessing program variables across 4gl files in the same executable

JL: I4GL GLOBALS are precisely variables which can be accessed across 2 or more I4GL source files within the same executable, which is apparently what you want. >Say for example I have one 4gl program containing the "main" and "end >main" which in turn calls functions which are declared in another 4gl >program. Can these 2 programs access a common set of variables (similiar >to "extern" variables in "C") JL: Yes, but only if they are GLOBALS. Why did you think that GLOBALS are not what you want?
