Change Define and Protected to Local

[ts-soft]

My wish
Define in a Procedure is useless. Local for Procedures and Main-Scope is
more clearly. For DefaulType an extra Keyword, or remove it.

Or set Define = Protected

Or set Define = Protected

This would get my vote!

This one too.

All local variables should be protected, this is important in view of Includes file other authors.

That would make "Global" pretty useless, would it not ?

No, global is global, all other is local (protected)

In the moment this is useless:

Code: Select all

Global A.l

Procedure foo()
  Define A.l
EndProcedure

A in foo() should protected!

So using global:

Code: Select all

Global A.l

Procedure foo()
  A = 10
EndProcedure

// Edit:
Better example: in the moment

Code: Select all

XIncludeFile "MyGlobals.pbi"

Global a

Procedure foo()
  Define a    ; global
  Define b    ; ???
  Protected c ; lokal 
EndProcedure
