Global Variable in 10.1 and 10.2

[BariAbdul]

I have went through long ago a query regarding global variable and Steve's interesting observations/reservations regarding debugging.Here,In our model global variables has been used quite generously,Is any enhancements in 10.1 and 10.2.
Appreciate your valuable inputs.Thanks

No, they're exactly the same in the 10 series as they were in 9.5 as best I'm aware. I've only just started to incorporate them into my new code standards but would have done so years ago had we not been on 9.0 32 bit for so long. I didn't consciously recall Steve's post but we always have a "Start" process which takes care of all initialisation including (now) global variables and the standards specify what the commonly used ones should be named in all chores and processes so the issue that Steve raised is less of a one for us. They haven't completely replaced but rather supplement the control cube approach. One of the main things that I'm using them for is as de facto "By Ref" variables which allows me to pass error states and descriptions back from library processes to calling processes. However the way it's designed the call stack is always kept shallow so that I've yet to encounter this problem.

What exactly is it that you want enhanced about them?

Thanks Alan,I just wanted to know its behavior in 10.1 and 10.2 perspective.
