Purpose
Declare a memory variable or array local to the current procedure
Syntax
LOCAL <memvar list> | <array name>
See Also
DECLARE, DIMENSION, DISPLAY MEMORY, DO, FUNCTION, PRIVATE, PROCEDURE, PUBLIC, RELEASE, RESTORE, SAVE, SET CLIPPER, STORE
Description
The LOCAL command declares memory variables or arrays to be local to a procedure, function or program. When the procedure, function or program returns, then all of the memory variables and arrays that were declared by the LOCAL command are released.
The memory variables are initially declared as logicals with the value .F., unless SET CLIPPER is ON, in which case they are undefined.
LOCAL variables differ from PRIVATE variables in that a LOCAL variable is not visible to lower level procedures or functions.
See DECLARE or DIMENSION for more details on array declaration.
Example
local cTmpbuf ? cTmpbuf .F.
Products
Recital Server, Recital
