Subroutine and Static Variable

Is it possible to have a Subroutine refer to a static variable?  I ask because I learned the other day that the Static Variable has to be defined after the Subroutine is, so it seems like the cart would be before the horse.

The static variable can be defined before the subroutine. It cannot be set to a value until after all your definitions (including subroutines and functions).

GLOBAL CODE:
Code
Select All
// Define Static Variable
stat sTemp as Int

// Define Subroutine which uses the static variable
SUBROUTINE DoIt()

	  WriteLn(sTemp)

END SUBROUTINE

// Set static variable to a value
sTemp = 50
