global variables

[michaelschmid1]

Hi all


I tried to set a variable global .. 

global DEGUB = 0;

then, some functions later..

 ... = func1(...)
     
    ... = func2(...)
     
       isglobal("DEBUG")

    (END func2)
 
 (END func1)

the "isglobal("DEBUG")" statement will answer with 0.. should this not be
1 ?
Or isn't it possible to get some function calls deeper the global variables?

"A variable that has been declared global may be accessed from within a function
body without having to pass it as a formal parameter."
- I never passed it somehow...

I'm using Octave -2.9.5
on Cygwin
on WinXP

Thanks for any help
