The Local-Storage Section defines storage that is allocated and freed on a per-invocation basis. On each invocation, data items defined in the Local-Storage Section are reallocated and initialized to the value assigned in their VALUE clauses. Data items defined in the Local-Storage Section cannot specify the EXTERNAL clause. The Local-Storage Section must begin with the header LOCAL-STORAGE SECTION followed by a separator period.
You can specify the Local-Storage Section in recursive programs, and in non-recursive programs.
