undeclared variables getting through in Strict Compilation mode

[Bob Sneidar]

The simple way to avoid that in the future is what many have suggested for the eons we have been posting on this list: Name your variables in such a way that they *cannot* conflict. For instance, globals should start with a g as in gFormApp. Local variables might start with an l (some say p but others say that should be for passed parameters). It’s really up to you. the important thing is that simply by looking at a variable, you can know it’s “scope” (pseudo scope I suppose since LC does not really scope variables).
