Compiler Error 1304
declaration error: Local variables must be declared at top of
function
All local variables within a function block must be declared before any statements are
encountered. Local variables are not allowed to be declared within a block of
statements such as inside an if-else or while loop.
The following are examples of this error:
FUNCTION MyFunc( INTEGER arg1, STRING arg2 ) // ok
{
INTEGER i; // ok
STRING str[100]; // ok
Print( “Inside MyFunc!” );
INTEGER j; // error
if ( i > 1 )
{
INTEGER k; // error – if-statement block cannot
contain local variables
}
}
Compiler Error 1305
declaration error: Local functions not supported
A function cannot be defined within another function definition. All function
definitions must be defined with a global scope inside the module.
Scope refers to the level at which an Event, user-defined function or statement
resides. Having a global scope means that the function or variable can be called or
accessed from anywhere within the program. A local scope means that the variable
can only be accessed from within the event or function that it resides in.
The following are examples of this error:
FUNCTION MyFunc() // ok – MyFunc is global
{
FUNCTION MyLocalFunc() // error – MyLocalFunc is local to
MyFunc
{
}
}
