Could anyone tell me what the following STL instruction means?

Code: 
L    #R_Data_Length

I understand the load part, but what does the # mean? It's not just part of the variable name, is it?
 
I assume this is for a Siemens PLC.

If the variable has a # in front of the name, that means it is a local tag, ie it is declared in the interface of that block (in, out, inout, temp, etc) instead of globally (symbol table or PLC tags).
