The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Eons ago (and I forget what programming language it was), every time you
used a variable, it would add it to the literal pool without checking if
one was already there. Thus the variable pool could get quite large. I
doubt that situation exists today. As has been noted, it's a matter of
clarity and organization.

Because it makes your code look more like COBOL and it's definition
section and isn't that what we should all be striving for? (ducking and
running - in a serpentine fashion).
