GLOBAL

 The GLOBAL attribute provides a strong definition of a  variable
 or  routine so that other independently compiled units can refer
 to it.


 Syntax:

    [GLOBAL]

 or,

    [GLOBAL(idenifier)]

 or,

    [GLOBAL('string-literal')]


 The 'identifier' is the name of the  identifier  passed  to  the
 linker.   It  is passed in uppercase on OpenVMS systems.  If you
 omit the identifier, the name of the variable is used.

 The 'string-literal' is  a  specified  string  literal  that  is
 passed unmodified to the linker.

 See the "HP Pascal Language Reference Manual" for  the  complete
 description of using the GLOBAL attribute.
