SQR Global and Local Variables

[Scott May - SICAS Center - SUNY Oneonta <MAYSA@SNYONEVA.CC.ONEONTA.EDU>]

Hello,

	I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some background to a
concern about SQR that was raised to me recently.

	Did SQR at some release have a problem with losing global column
variables after calling 3 or 4 procedures?  If so, at what release (I would
expect 1.X maybe).  It appears to me that if this once was a problem that it
has been fixed since at least 2.11.

	I am using versions back to 2.11 and have not encountered a problem.
I wrote a little SQR that goes 10 levels deep, and 10 levels wide and all
possiblities in between.  The result is calling approx. 1023 local procedures.
The problem does not occur.


	My reason for asking is that I tend to use local procedures 
on a fairly regular basis in my programs.  This way I can reuse them with
little modification if another program if needed, and don't have to worry
about conflicting global variables.

Thanks in advance for any information you have on this topic.
Scott...
