Scope of Objects and Variables

The scope of an object is determined when it is typed (i.e., declared). The object name should not be N[ewed] as this function is managed by the PSL compiler.

Example 1

Unacceptable:	new crcd type RecordCRCD crcd = Db.getRecord("CRCD","CO=:CO,CRCD=:XCRCD")
Acceptable:	type RecordCRCD crcd = Db.getRecord("CRCD","CO=:CO,CRCD=:XCRCD")

Example 2

Unacceptable:	new rs type ResultSet rs = Db.select("TSEQ","HIST","CID<:CID")
Acceptable:	type ResultSet rs = Db.select("TSEQ","HIST","CID<:CID")
