Problem Topic
COMMON: Interpretation
Problem Description
COMMON variables are listed as ~environment variables~. Does this mean that they are effectively READ-ONLY, or can they be modified for all processes in the Operating System to access? Is there a standard DME implementation
policy for COMMON variables, or is the DME responsible for publishing these variables in an implementation-dependent manner?

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
"The meaning and implementation of COMMON variables is DME specific."
