Performable Global Logic from EAE 3.3 is migrated as segment method and the local SDs will become variables. Variables are initialized every time the method is called. This might result in a slightly different behaviour to EAE for local SDs that are defined with an “Initial Value.” In EAE, these do not get re-initialized on each call to the GLG, however in AB Suite they will be initialized to the “Initial Value” on every call to the method.

In EAE, if the Performable GLG logic modifies the value of a local SD that is defined with an initial value, then this modified value will still be available on future calls to the GLG. That is, modified values carry over from one call to the next. In AB Suite, this will not happen. All variables will be initialized each time the method is called.
