I can't imagine why it wouldn't, but rather than working with a bunch of 
separate globals by name you could use one array.  The extra benefit of 
using an array is that you can store its contents in one line:

   set the customProperties of stack tMyDataStack to tMyArray

For more on using arrays for data storage see:
