- The permissible options are:

- Locally declared variables (variables defined using the DECLARE statement) are added to local-storage, and are not allocated
                           afresh each time a SECTION is entered.

- 2 
                           					 
                        
- Locally declared variables (variables defined using the DECLARE statement) are allocated afresh each time a SECTION is entered.
                           This is the default behavior.
