Set Commands scoped to current datasession

Is there a way to work around the scope limitation of the set commands? For
example, I want the separator to be . for the entire application regardless
of datasession.

Thanks for any help.

You'll have to set it in each datasession.

Most of us have a class that does this in INIT:
1) Remembers the old setting
2) Sets the preferred setting

And in Destroy:
Puts back the old setting

We instantiate this in each datasession. (In fact, my session subclass does
ONLY this beyond native behavior of session.)
