Bob I have a component that declares all my variables(not just locals). Locals were simple-everything else was hard. It relies on you having a definable format(i.e type is at end or demarked by _ ) and having consistent(even if varying) way of identifying type (e.g _at is is array text and _atxt is array text and _t is txt and _txt is text. if it finds something that it does not understand it decalres it(commented out) as //C_UNKNOWN($_somethingprobablyatypo_xxx).
The definitions are editable and you set them up when you put the component it(it installs a couple of methods in your code and does not alter your structure so taking it back out does not break your code). I have been using it on several systems for over a year with differing decalration systems and so far it has been very good(it does some other things besides decalring variables..will auto put a header on your methods and auto put code in if you want it..i have it put $_l_FormEvent:=Form Event ..Case of..:($_L_formevent=on clicked)..end case in all new object methods for example). You would be welcome to have a copy to try out-i would welcome feedback on whether it can work for others. (if you do want to try it let me know your naming convention so I can confirm it will work with the code).-i have versions for V14,15,AND 16.
