# global var (proc)

Source: https://ref.dm-lang.org/proc/var/global

This is not really a variable but is used to force treatment of the following variable or proc as global. This may be necessary if a local or src-level variable has the same name.

```dm
var/myvar = "global"
mob
  verb/test()
    var/myvar = "local"
    usr << myvar
    usr << global.myvar
```

This example outputs "local" and then "global".
