Variable scope

[slar...@gmail.com]

I have 2 questions

1) is there a function that can return the scope of a variable

    ex : nTest => LOCAL | STATIC etc...

2) Unable to remember a technicality

     within a function if we do not declare a variable what is the scope of the

     variable ? PRIVATE or LOCAL

     EX :

    FUNCTION Test()

        LOCAL x := 10

         y := 20

        // What is scope of variable y since it's not declared ?

    RETURN( NIL )

thanks

hi,

> 1) is there a function that can return the scope of a variable

i know Debugger can do it ... but not "how"

LOCAL and STATIC ( not Filed-wide STATIC ) can only be reached in Func/Proc or when pass as Parameter

> 2) Unable to remember a technicality

un-declare Variable are PRIVATE.

PRIVATE and PUBLIC must be declare as MEMVAR when using Compiler Option -w1 -es2

i recommend to use PRIVATE and PUBLIC only when need else it will be hard to find a Variable e.g. in Debugger
