Scope form name variable

psill000

When I create a GUI with hiCreateAppForm and run lint on the script I get global variables from the form name. 

Is there a good way of scoping the variable so I don't get a Lint warning of global variable error.

Currently I have the GUI in a different file to lessen the global warning errors.

     Hi Paul,

    Well, a form symbol has to be global, so you can't avoid that, but what you can do is to make sure that it is named with an appropriate prefix (e.g. PS or MY etc.), and then on the Lint form you enter this for the package prefixes - this should allow Lint to recognise that these are required globals but have the appropriate prefix and so should not reduce your score.

    Hope this helps!
