Why is it poor style?

Anyway, the only other way I could think of doing this would be to have
your variables defind in a file, say define.pro, as

variable1= 23l
variable2= 34d001

etc.

and then use an @define.pro near the start of the routine to set them all up.
Then you'd only need to edit define.pro to change their values. As to
whether this is any nicer than common blocks......
