LOCAL
LOCAL xVariable [:= xInitial], ...Declares function-local variables.
Overview
An uninitialized declaration leaves NIL, which should not be used directly in arithmetic. Initialize values and pass data explicitly to avoid Private/Public dependencies. This subset does not redefine block capture or the distinction between declared type and assigned value. (Sources: refs. 1–2.)
Syntax
LOCAL xVariable [:= xInitial], ...Return value
Declaration command; no function return.
Commented example
#Include "Protheus.ch"
User Function Ed508()
Local nQty := 3
Local nUnit := 10
Local nTotal := nQty * nUnit
// Initialize before calculating.
ConOut(cValToChar(nTotal))
