Determine Scope of Variables ?

Is there anyway to determine the Scope [Public, Private or Local] of a
Variable.

Using Foxpro 8.0 Pro.

Shouldn't you know it when you declare the vars?

AFAIK there is not way to do this at runtime. The only thing you can do is
search the code at development time to determine the scope of a variable.

Yes. Any variable that is not explicitly declared is private, aka automatic,
everything else has its declared scope. To find and eliminate all undeclared
memvars, run you app with the _vfp.languageoptions = 1.
This concept includes parameters and lparameters statements, the "l"
indicating that the parameters are local. This is why I find the current
convention of using lparameters and the "l' naming convention to accept
parameters redundant and amusing.

What is the point? What is this going to give you, and why would
it be of any use? Are you writing a debugger?

You could try parsing the output of list memory.

Tanveer,

public giPublic
private piPrivate
local liLocal

giPublic = 1
piPrivate = 1
liLocal = 1

list memory like * to memvardump.txt noconsole
n = alines( laMemvars, filetostr( "memvardump.txt" ) )
for i = 1 to n
? laMemvars[i]
endfor
