I am trying to resolve an intermittent hang problem with one of my
applications.  

One practice that I have used in the past  was to declare most of the common
variables via procedure call while at the main menu (about 90 VARS).  At the
end of each process I "CLEAR ALL VAR EXCEPT RB%" and then call the procedure
to set the variables for the next process to be run.  I am wondering if this
method may be contributing to my hangs.  I am sure that SET and CLEAR VARS
as you go is the best technique so I plan to revise my application.  But
what about clearing VARS using CLEAR ALL VAR EXCEPT RB%; is there a downside
to that?  That would save me a lot of time when I make the changes (the
application is quite large).  

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this method?
