/Set X Global On
Once enabled, users are not allowed to use the Local option of the Set
X command. They can still use the Set X command, but only the
global tag value can be changed.
To allow the use of local COBOL tags again, simply enter
/Set X Global Off
The global tag has priority over any local tag. If you are accessing a
workfile with a local tag and you disable the Global option, Qedit
resumes using the saved local tag.

/Set X Global Off
/Verify X
Set X "localtag" Local On Default "ME990204" List ON Tab OFF
When the local option is enabled, the first tag shown on the Verify
output is the local value. It is followed by the words Local On. The
global tag is displayed after the keyword Default.
Null. If you want to reset all COBOL tags currently in use (global and
local), use the Set X Null command.
Change Confirmation. The justified option, "SetJ", displays the
current X values including the active tag, the default tag and the local
tag settings. It applies the changed settings entered on the command
and, lastly, it displays the revised settings. When none of the Cobx
tags are set, the output is:
Set X values before this command:
Active tag value=, List ON
Default tag value=, List ON
Local tag value. NONE List NOT SAVED
Set X values AFTER the command:
Active tag value=, List ON
Default tag value=, List ON
Local tag value. NONE List NOT SAVED
The first 4 lines show the current settings. The last 4 show the settings
after the requested change has been applied. When there is no tag
value, Qedit displays an empty string or the word "NONE". When the
List option displays as "NOT SAVED", it means the Local feature is
enabled but the List setting has not been explicitly set yet.
If the tag values are set, the result strings are displayed as in:
