What are Volatile Variables?

Volatile variables consist of regular CA Automation Point status variables and GLV variables. Through the global variable environment, multiple REXX programs can access volatile GLV variables if the programs are running concurrently.

Volatile GLV variables are transient, rather than permanent; and are deleted when the REXX program that created them terminates.
