An other way is to make a procedure from it e.g.


pro some,some_variable
some_variable = {_refima, $
disp : intarr (256, 256, 3), $
disp_3d : intarr (256, 256, 3), $
ident : 0, $
image_type : 0 }
end


The main program can compile it by resolve_routine and use execute in this
way.

pro main
resolve_routine,'some'
a=execute('some,some_variable')
help,some_variable,/str

end

I would prefer this solution because I don't like storing unused
variables or common blocks
