How to make the global variable working?

I had a file defining all the global variables used in subroutine files. The format is like:

DEF INT  PgmMag,ReqMag
DEF BOOL BusyPocket[16]

I put them in the Setup->Toolpath->Toolpath list and make it before the main program. Still these varibles did not take into effect when I run the simulation. Could you please tell me what's the problem? If it's possible, I can send you my file to your email address. Thanks.

Thank, it will fix the problem, but V5.4.2 will not support this function. I just copied all varible definitions at the top of main program as the temporary solution.

Re: How to make the global variable working?

David,
There are also other ways to define variables.

If you want them defined in the control for all programs:
>Setup >Control >Advanced options >Events >Start of Processing
Add Variable definitions after Conversioninit.

Or if you want them defined only for this user file:
>Setup >G Code >Variables and set an Initial Value.
