I put many samples in this forum during the years, so you should have seen some of my source code. Anyway, maybe you don't know that declaring a variable also defines its scope and lifetime. A LOCAL variable exists and is only visible inside the function where it is declared. A STATIC variable ...

Hello,
what is the right way to declare locals.

Should we assign a value directly when declaring a local.

For example:
Function test
local aTemp := {}
or is local aTemp enough.

Can someone please explain the difference.

You have the code above, just try it. A few minutes spent now learning about objects will save you tremendous time later. I have converted ...

Thanks Biel! I thought it that way ("... Declaring MEMVAR inside a function gives function scope to the var's declaration, so it should be moved in front of both functions.") but then I didn't put it in the code. Its a good think to have ...

... with ADS 9 through the current. That's because the rddads.lib you have for Harbour was created using ADS SDK version 9. It is only a matter of declaring the environmental variable to point to the right directory before you execute the batch file that builds rddads.lib. Hope that helps, Reinaldo.
