Similar, but ther s#variable is still accessible globally. One aspect of
that hasn't been mentioned is scoped variables, is the fact that the same
variable name can be used in differnet function/procedures and be a
different data type and hold different values.
example using LOCAL scope
function 1
s#variable text = 'hi'
function 2
s#variable integer = 1
with this you can create a function and someone else could create another
function and both of you use the same variable name. So when you are
developing in a team you can then define scopes to communicate in complete
application.
