Confused about LOCAL....

[webmasterpdx]

Cyrille, my understanding (and this is what the documentation says) is that a program global is EXPORT A; outside of a function.
So, you are saying that LOCAL A; outside of a function is, in fact, treated as a global, but isn't accessible by anything other than functions defined inside the same program file.
Thus, LOCAL A; outside a function, cannot coexist with an existing global, either inside another program file or a true global/system variable. This is why LOCAL A; gives a compile error.
Is my interpretation here correct?
