GLOBAL in SUB isn't global

In LB4, you can declare a global variable in a SUB, but it doesn't work in LBB. It prints 0 in LBB, and 4294967295 in LB4. Something to be aware of...
Code:call Init
print m32
END
SUB Init
GLOBAL m32
m32 = 2^32 - 1
END SUB

It would be something to be aware of, except that I cannot reproduce it! I copied your code, exactly as listed, into LBB v3.00, ran it, and it printed 4294967295. What do other people get?
Richard.

I get the same as you, Richard.
Both gave the same answer.
If lines 5 and 6 are traded, different answers happen.
LBB stays the same; LB gives 0.
Code:call Init
print m32
END
SUB Init
m32 = 2^32 - 1
GLOBAL m32
END SUB

I'll be d**d - it works for me now too.
But it wasn't working - it was 0 in the later SUB when I was ANDing with it, and 0-ing out my array. The code worked right when I cut/pasted the declaration to the start of the code.
Note to self - In the future, restart LBB and see if the unexpected behavior goes away.

Might it be not integer? LBB rounds to integer before using in logical operations (so sometimes to 0), if I am right.
