Confused about LOCAL....

[webmasterpdx]

That was the old post that I said I read.

I cannot put the line:

LOCAL A;

inside a program, and outside a function, as A is already defined in the System global variables.
That old post suggests that I should be able to do this, overriding the global name....again, I'm using the Beta. Has anyone without the Beta tried this to see if it used to work?
