- Select Edit»Sequence File Properties from the toolbar
- In the Properties dialog, select the All Executions Share the Same File Globals option from Sequence File Globals drop-down menu.
- Click OK to register the change.
This will prevent a copy of the File Globals from being created for each execution.
