Issue - 101 - Local variables overriding enclosing scope
Status: open

Date added: 5 Mar 2004

Submitter: Danny van der Rijn

Date submitted: 04 March 2004

Description: in 9.2, it says: "It is not permitted to have variables with same name but different messageType/type/element within an enclosing scope hierarchy."  This seems to be unnecessarily restrictive, and inconsistent with scoping behavior in other languages.

Submitter's proposal: remove the restriction
