Hi

I discovered an error in a working Procedure this morning.

I had accidently declared a parameter as OUT, when it should have been VAR.

(I discovered this error by calling Menus->Info->Analyze Module.)


Just out of idle curiosity, does anyone know when OUT variables are, in fact, initialised to the values in the outer context?
In this case the variable was initialised, so no malfunction in the procedure was visible.


Cheers
