1. Declaring variables in a procedure?

Good Morning,
I am trying to declare variables inside a procedure like so:
procedure whatever()
integer x, y, z
x = 1
y = 2
z = 3
sequence other_stuff
other_stuff = {}
....bunch of code....
end procedure
If I only try to declare one type in the procedure, such as just integer, it
works fine, but if I try to declare more than one I get an error. The
reference manual doesn't say anything that I can see regarding declaring
inside procedures only that there is "a fixed number of named parameters"
but I took that to mean that there is a limit to how many parameters can be
passed to a procudure.
Any one have any enlightenment for me?
thank you,
DAvid S.

How are you declaring the others?
This should work fine:
procedure whatever()
integer x, y, z
sequence a, b, c
atom p
x = 1
y = 2
z = 3
p = 0
a = ""
b= {}
c="abc"
end procedure

Just make all the declarations before you execute any code:
procedure foo()
integer x,y,z
sequence stuff
x = 1
y = 2
z = 3
s = "Stuff"
.....
end procedure

If you define a variable inside a function/procedure, then try to declare
another variable, it will give you an error. Try something like this
instead, making all the variable declarations first, then defining them
afterward;
integer x, y, z
sequence other_stuff
x = 1
y = 2
z = 3
other_stuff = {}
