Retentive Variables

Retentive Variables

Hi,
I have a variable which intialises a PLC timing function. The operator enters a timining value, 8 hours say, and the PLC begins a countdown. The problem I have is when the Zenon Runtime is started this value gets reset to zero. Is there any way to make this value retentive? I know it can be done in the PLC but for various reasons this isn't really an option.
Thanks
