I have noticed that declaring a variables OUTSIDE of a procedure or function, I can do this: atom var1, var2 var1 = 1 var2 = 2 atom var3 var3 = 3 Declaring this same thing inside a procedure or function will cause an error because of the intermixing of variable names and assigning of the variables value procedure rout1( ) atom var1, var2 var1 = 1 var2 = 2 atom var3 var3 = 3 end procedure Why doesn't this work the same way inside a procedure ?

In the manual section 2.4.2 it states: "Variable declarations inside a subroutine must all appear at the beginning, before the executable statements of the subroutine." I just felt it would promote readability if the private variable declarations had to all appear at the beginning. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
