GLOBAL

GLOBAL is a special variable group that is not deleted after a processing/import has ended.

This means that a variable assigned to the GLOBAL variable group remains in memory even after the process that set it has ended and can be addressed in future processing operations.
However, if the BATCH (AEF) is ended, the variable no longer exists.

GLOBAL is global only within a task (another task cannot address these variables).
SHARED is global across all tasks.
