Difference in how declared variables handled in report breaks?

I was doing some processing where I wanted to collect the sum total of a 
number at a sub-total break.  When doing this with standard global 
variables such as aa(10,.0,g) it works fine.  Using the line 
aa=aa+{field}, at the break 'aa' is holding the correct value.  But when 
I tried it with a declared variable such as qty(10,.0,g) (using the line 
DECLARE qty(10,.0,g)) the value is correct throughout the processing 
except that when it gets to the @wbrkn line the value goes blank.

I'm assuming that this is normal behavior and that there is some 
brilliant reason why this should be happening so I'm curious as to what 
it is.
