Variable declaration quirk

[Ray Scheel]

I had an issue come up where having the following declared in automatic:
dim coms(6)(66,,g):ca;clear coms

did not generate an error/warning on a report process with the following
declared:
ca(7,.0,g);

Though it certainly caused what I was expecting to find in "ca" to blank out
until I disabled automatic for the report I was trying to run.

I know that fP (currently running 5.0.11aR4) throws a warning when "normally
defined" variables are declared in automatic and another table.  Is this a
case where that was overlooked, or is the lack of warning intentional / not
possible because of something I'm not catching?
