User keywords have three different scopes, determined by their member names.
Standard User keywords are those with names that start with any character other than a "$" (dollar sign). These keywords have a scope local to the current phase. When the current phase ends, the keyword is automatically deleted. When multiple MOVE phases occur (for multiple members) between an INIT and a TERM phase it should be noted that these user keywords are deleted at the end of each MOVE phase, (that is, at the end of each member's processing).
When a user keyword is prefixed with the characters "$L$" its scope is local to the current INIT‑MOVE‑TERM group. See the topic Model Processing earlier in this chapter for information about groups. You can set these during the INIT or MOVE phase and continue to use them through the TERM phase. If these keywords are set during a phase not related to a group, such as the START phase, they are deleted at the end of that phase.
User keywords prefixed with the characters "$G$" are global throughout modeling. They are not deleted until modeling ends. If you create global user keywords recall that there can only be 1000 user keywords defined at a time and you have no means to delete global user keywords when you are done with them.
