SHARED

SHARED is a special variable group, which is not deleted after processing/import has ended and remains in memory even after the BATCH (AEF) has ended.

This means that a variable assigned to the SHARED variable group remains in memory even after the process that set it has ended and can be addressed in future processing operations.
These variables can also be addressed by tasks running in parallel or by tasks running later.

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