Using
extern
In the previous example, the
extern
definition for variables is put into an
include
file and then shared. You can do the same for the
extern
procedure
definition. In doing so, you must also declare the variable with a
define
declaration in the module that defines the procedure. This declaration nullifies
the effect of the
extern
declaration.
The commands to compile and
execute

From MAIN, before PROC: 1
From PROC : 1
From MAIN, after PROC : 2
The program unit,
ext_prog.p
program ext_prog;
%include "extern.h";

writeln('From MAIN, before PROC: ',global);
proc;
writeln('From MAIN, after PROC: ',global);
