A static variable is defined in a procedure, but does not lose its
value after exiting the procedure, in other words :
--------------------------
integer var
procedure test()
integer static_var
if var=5 then
static_var=var
end if
?static_var
end procedure
var=5
test()
var=6
test()
----------------------------
With static variables, this piece of code would display:
5
5
However, it gives an error: "static_var has not been assigned a
value". Which means that variables defined in a procedure are NOT
static.
