Defining variable as Static in QTP script

[caze]

hi @ venkat,

i have a function called Fun1()
inside it i want to define a variable which should be static.
something like following:

--------------cut--------------------

Code:

Function Fun1()
   public Static totalSales  = 0
    totalSales +=1
End Function

--------------cut end --------------
so that each time i call this function ,totalSales should remain static.
Qtp pops an error messageBox while defining totalSales as Static.
when i tried this function without QTP , it works well.
