Local variables in a FN are in existence until you hit that function's
END FN statement; in particular, it's OK to pass a pointer to local
variable(s) _into_ another FN; the "outer" function's variables are all
still intact and available while the "inner" function executes.

If your data is located, say, in a handle-type block, then that block is
accessible (to any function) until you explicitly dispose of it.  In
that case, the block could be valid even _after_ the END FN statement.
