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.
