SHARED VARIABLES not recommended with PERSISTENT PROCEDURES
Progress Development strongly discourages the use of shared variables
when designing applications using persistent procedures. The reason
is that using shared variables greatly impacts the modularity of the
procedures.
Instead, we recommend that programmers make use of passed parameters.
This strategy figures prominently in PROGRESS Version 8, where a
more object-oriented programming approach is supported.
Users who become accustomed to using passed parameters with persistent
procedures will have a leg up when Version 8 is released.
