Any response to my DECLARE question

[John Esak]

Did anyone have a response to my question about DECLARE EXTERN not giving an
error at runtime if the variable is referenced and there is no DECLARE'd
GLOBAL partner to be found?  Shouldn't filePro complain if a variable has
not been established correctly before it is used?

To restate:


Just as you can't do:

       a=xx

if xx has not been brought into existence somewhere else, why should you be
able to do:

   then: declare long_variable
   then: a=long_variable

if there isn't a DECLARE global long_variable in the "calling" table?
