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.

    As far as I know the variable which holds the form data structure has to be global.
    But you can specify a prefix for the global variables e.g. GB, GBmyFormDataStruc
    and follow this solution

    It took me a while to figure this out so hopefully I can save someone a few minutes by sharing the info here. The link above doesn't work for me as of June 2019, but here is the usage of sklint to ignore a prefix of "MY_" (such as "MY_GLOBAL_VARIABLE1") with a generic SKILL file name:

    ;sklint(?file "qscSkill.il" ?prefixes list('MY_))

    Note that I'm an Allegro SKILL user so hopefully usage is the same for all SKILL variants.

    I fixed the link (I think it had mainly been line-wrapped) but if you're using Allegro, I don't think it will help you. In Virtuoso there's a SKILL Interactive Development Environment with a user interface, but in Allegro I believe you just have access to the command-line (function call) interface that you've found...

    Regards,
