LOCALVARS itself should not be global

Hi ,

I was trying to use LOCALVARS, but when you have more than 1 level it's a nightmare.
Because 1 SUB can alter the LOCALVARS value for all SUBs.
See example bellow.

It would be nice to :

-LOCALVARS to be set locally or user another keyword LOCALVARSLOC
That way it would not affect the value of LOCALVARS in the sublevels

-or be able to create/access LOCAL and other levels variables using:
LetLevelVar>t=1,Level (Level=LOCAL;ABOVE,0)
GetLevelVar>%var1%,Level,result (Level=LOCAL;ABOVE,0)

Code: Select all

SRT>sub2
   Let>LOCALVARS=1
   Let>a=4

   Let>LOCALVARS=0
   Let>ret=TRUE
END>sub2

SRT>sub1
   Let>LOCALVARS=1

   Let>a=2
   gosub>sub2
   Let>a=3
   MessageModal> a: %a%  ' prints 2

   Let>LOCALVARS=0
   Let>ret=FALSE
END>sub1


Let>a=1
Let>ret=TRUE
gosub>sub1
MessageModal> a: %a%   ' prints 3

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll definitely consider it.
