View Ref-FileThis option will generate a list of variables for each subroutine that are
considered global. All variables that are not parameters and locals are
assumed to be globals.

This helps locate typos and missing postfixes, plus you can verfiy if a
subroutine is in fact completely self contained.

It gives the option to sort the variables:

Option Order          Speed   Description
None   No sort        Fast    Order they are encountered in the listing
Type   Variable type  Medium  See TYPE() in the GFA-BasicGFA-Basic is the best BASIC for the Atari!
 manual
Name   Variable name  Slow    Sorted alphabetically a to z

Sorting by name is probably the most useful, you can spot errors like this:
   index%  <- the variable you meant to use
   index#  <- missing postfix, so it shows up as a float
   inbex%  <- typo in the variable name
