Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

running the following

Option explicit
Dim a As integer
s1
End

Sub s1
Local b As integer
s2
End Sub

Sub s2
Local c As integer
a=1
b=1
c=1
End Sub


gives the error 'b is not declared' at line 14.
because sub s2 is called from within s1, I was expecting b would be declared, in the same way that a is available in s1. Apparently not. If I declare b in sub s1 using the DIM command, it becomes available in sub s2 but also the main program, which is not what I desired.
