declare global error

[Dennis Malen]

Here are my results:

I don't understand why, but (as suggested) by reversing the "global" and the
"extern" fixed the error that was popping up.

To summarize: I had the "global" in the call processing. The "extern" was in
the input processing table. Once reversed, it worked fine.

I have always said and I am repeating it again, that the filepro list is so
important to all of us and you guys and gals do such a great job in
responding to everyones concerns.

Thanks again,

Dennis

See my other e-mail as to *why* this might be a solution.

Declared variables do not "share" between processes based on whether or not
they're declared in automatic processing, as is done with dummy fields.  The
"sharing" is done entirely on whether you use "declare global" or "declare
local".
