DEFINE /GLOBAL

        [SIC\]DEFINE Type Var1 [Var2 [...]] /GLOBAL

    The  /GLOBAL  option specifies that the variables are global, instead of
    being local to the current procedure. Local  variables  have  precedence
    over global variables.

    The  /GLOBAL option is incompatible with DEFINE FUNCTION and DEFINE COM-
    MAND.
