Menu 5.X/Forms 3.0 , startup Global variables

  SQL*Menu 5.0
  SQL*Forms 3.x
  VMS o/s

  Hi,

[Quoted]      I am trying to get an SQL*Menu to do some initialising of global   variables before entering forms. This must occur on the start-up of the   menu, or at least before any form is called. There appears   to be no mechanism for this type of operation in Menus/Forms.   I tried having a high level menu to call a form in turn called another   menu, but I hope there might be a more elegant solution.

                         all help greatfully received,

                               Michael.
