It would be nice to have an option to force variable declaration like OPTION EXPLICIT in VB6.

It would help when you misspell variables

@Karbon
- of cause I say VB6; it is a nice system with great feature; but I think PB is better for my purposes, otherwise I would'n post my threads here

@LarsG and venom
- having your editor test your variables is much less save than having the compiler do the job. And it could be switched on/off as an compiler option, so it would make no diffwerence if you don't like it. On the other hand it makes debugging much easier and shouldn't be too hard to implement in the compiler.

Well to stir things up a little!!

We never hear from FRED how he stands on the "OPTION EXPLICIT" we are asking for???

@FRED could you PLEASE adapt the compiler so it gives a list of ALL variables used in the program!!

Just the name and type, NOTHING more no line numbers just the name and type!!

Since YOU do not comment on this "OPTION EXPLICIT" issue!!

This would help development ENORM. I looked edit/comile/debug cycles more than 30 minutes just to discover i made a new variable "AtomicTitle$" (correct) and "AtomicTilte$" (wrong) spot the difference!!

I can under stand you have to "redisign" the compiler. For the "OPTION EXPLICIT" issue. But personally i think the administration of the compiler is there in the end just "dump" that to a file and voila!! Problem solved for US !!

Thanks,
Jan Vooijs....
