As long as that Library archive is in libname following restart then the saved value will get used (until you reassign a new value to the name).</p> <p>But you won't be able to restart from within a procedure (or even with a loop, properly).</p> <p>In the Standard GUI you could use a DataTable Component to store one or more values. You could even hide it. So if the rtable associated with such a Component is named X, then any value of X[1] would survive restart even without the worksheet being saved (as well as relaunch provided the worksheet were saved). The downside is that rtable entry X[1] is not a symbolic name, in case your code wanted to use it that way.</p> <p>Whenever your code assigns a new value to the variable, it could be made to savelib that variable to a Library archive.
