Global variable in ABAP function group

I create an enhancement in this function module to print out current session id:

As long as I do not close browser, no matter what operation I perform in WebUI, the session id remains the same, proving that all my operations are done in the same session:

always this guid: 00015255FA163EE40FA21ED6A898F0FA67B01B77

Function group is loaded into runtime memory by the FIRST call of a function module inside this function group.

See example below:

I have a global variable defined in function group in X3C/504:

Before I call any of the function module in this function group, this global variable is not available - this make senses because the whole function group is NOT loaded into memory.

When the first function module is called, the function group is loaded into memory - global variable available:

I insert one entry to this table:

Now function1 execution is finished, when I entry function module2, this global variable is still available, because the lifetime scope of function group is application level - which means it will always stay in the memory until the application terminates.

概括成一句话：function module里定义的局部变量，作用域是function module scope，即module执行完变量就失效，但定义在function group级别的全局变量，生命周期是整个应用，即应用不关闭之前，一直有效。
