Forgive me for "cutting in line", but what @crossrulz means is to add another shift register to the While Loop that surrounds the Case Statement (that combination is "the State Machine"). If you are in State A and in this State, you decide to set some value in the next State, you wire the Value to the "My Value" Shift Register, the next State into the Next State Shift Register, and exit the current state. When you get to the "next State" and need to use the value, its right there on the "My Value" Shift Register.
Note that you might have several different values that you use in your program (let's say, 15 of them). Does this mean you need 15 Shift Registers, one for each Value? You could do that, but the wiring would be (and look) "messy". Instead, make a Cluster that has the 15 Values in it. To add a new Value, do a "Bundle by Name" and put the new Value in to the proper "slot" in the Cluster. To use a value, simply do an Unbundle by Name. [Do you see how useful the "by Name" versions of cluster Bundle and Unbundle can be?]
