Private Global Blocks in the Process Details

Hi all,

I have a question about the Private Global Blocks when viewing a process's details. This number is growing while my process runs - is this due to variables, process-private-globals, or both?

Thanks

Laura

Indeed, documentation [1] says that this is "Number of private global data blocks used by this process.". So this is due to process-private globals

You can inspect these global using ^GETPPGINFO utility [2]

Thank you. Does this count toward the $storage value? or is the $storage affected only by variables (and not PPGs)?

This does not count toward $storage!

"The $STORAGE value is not affected by setting process-private variables, global variables, or special variables. "
