/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb DTM, CREATE, VARIABLE, Command Qualifiers, /LOCAL  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

   Defines the variable as being accessible only to an individual
   test that references it in its test description. The default is
   /LOCAL. You cannot specify both /LOCAL and /GLOBAL with the same
   CREATE VARIABLE command.
