COMM variables are still available in Task functions. They can be used as an alternative to mapping TGDEs to function parameters. The advantage of using COMM variables for inter-function communication is that you do not have to map them. However, the disadvantages of using COMM variables over mapping to TGDEs are:

Data storage for COMM variables is created when a Task is initialised and is destroyed when the Task terminates. COMM variables persist across member function execution within a single Task, but not across successive Task executions.
