Re: Rare problem with global variable value

The chances are they you've got the global variable defined in two files.

Normally - you should have *one *definition within a GLOBALS .. END GLOBALS
and then you reference that definition from a GLOBALS "filename.4gl"

In Aubit4gl - we try to initialise globals (in informix4GL - c-compiler
version - they are not initialised) - but if its defined in two files - it
will get initialised in both (when any function in that module is called).

If you've got it in two files, and you can't "fix" it - try compiling with

export NOGLOBALINIT=Y

and recompile your 4gls, see if that fixes it.
