dummies in @done

[Brian K. White]

Something I forgot to ask a long time ago...
Sanity check, is it just me or do ,g variables (short or long) get cleared 
out in @done?

I have processing-only export processes that set variables with ,g in @once, 
and the variable remains set after @once in the main body.
Great. very useful. I rely on that all the time.
But the same variable is empty in @done. Not great.

I'm coining a new acronym. YAFI (yet another filepro inconsistency) because 
to my mind, @once is equivalent to @done if you want to consider treating it 
differently than main body, per-record code.
Variables should either lose their values from @once to main body and from 
main body to @done, or they should retain their values across both 
transitions.

If it's not obvious yet, I wish for the 2nd form of consistency.
