[Info-vax] VAX BASIC global variables.

I don't know BASIC, but VAX DIBOL uses:

	GLOBAL COMMON variable-name

to define a variable common across routine, and ordinarily in the main
program.  It then uses:

	EXTERNAL COMMON variable-name

to make reference to the same memory location as the one defined by
global common.  My first guess is that it is close to the same in BASIC.

Good luck with your project.
