Try changing the name of the variable.

And the variable TIME - also reserved.

TIME is not reserved, but it's not a good idea to use uppercase variable names as there is too great a risk of conflicting with variables set by the shell.

There are only two shell variables (in bash) which are not uppercase, auto_resume and histchars.

curs_variables(3X)														curs_variables(3X)

NAME

       COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES, TABSIZE, curscr, newscr, stdscr - curses global variables

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int COLOR_PAIRS;
       int COLORS;
       int COLS;
       int ESCDELAY;
       int LINES;
       int TABSIZE;
       WINDOW * curscr;
       WINDOW * newscr;
       WINDOW * stdscr;

DESCRIPTION

       This page summarizes variables provided by the curses library.  A more complete description is given in the curses(3X) manual page.

       Depending  on the configuration, these may be actual variables, or macros (see curs_threads(3X)) which provide read-only access to curses's
       state.  In either case, applications should treat them as read-only to avoid confusing the library.

   COLOR_PAIRS
       After initializing curses, this variable contains the number of color pairs which the terminal can support.  Usually the  number  of  color
       pairs will be the product COLORS*COLORS, however this is not always true:

       o   a few terminals use HLS colors, which do not follow this rule

       o   terminals supporting a large number of colors are limited by the number of color pairs that can be represented in a signed short value.

   COLORS
       After initializing curses, this variable contains the number of colors which the terminal can support.

   COLS
       After initializing curses, this variable contains the width of the screen, i.e., the number of columns.

   ESCDELAY
       This variable holds the number of milliseconds to wait after reading an escape character, to distinguish between an individual escape char-
       acter entered on the keyboard from escape sequences sent by cursor- and function-keys (see curses(3X).

   LINES
       After initializing curses, this variable contains the height of the screen, i.e., the number of lines.

   TABSIZE
       This variable holds the number of columns used by the curses library when converting a tab character to spaces as it adds the tab to a win-
       dow (see curs_addch(3X).

   The Current Screen
       This implementation of curses uses a special window curscr to record its updates to the terminal screen.

   The New Screen
       This implementation of curses uses a special window newscr to hold updates to the terminal screen before applying them to curscr.

   The Standard Screen
       Upon  initializing curses, a default window called stdscr, which is the size of the terminal screen, is created.  Many curses functions use
       this window.

NOTES

       The curses library is initialized using either initscr(3X), or newterm(3X).

       If curses is configured to use separate curses/terminfo libraries, most of these variables reside in the curses library.

PORTABILITY

       ESCDELAY and TABSIZE are extensions, not provided in most other implementations of curses.

SEE ALSO

       curses(3X), curs_threads(3X), term_variables(3X), terminfo(3X), terminfo(5).
