Few Questions on Scope

I'd like to ask a couple of questions.

If I've created a SRT section (subroutine) and I've used a label within it, can I use the same label outside of the subroutine too?

Variables created within a subroutine - are they only within the scope of the subroutine or outside the subroutine too?

By default all variables have global scope. If you want variables within subroutines to have local scope (scope only within that subroutine) then set LOCALVARS to 1.

See the section the help file cunningly titled "Scope":

Hey Marcus,

I didn't see the article, but I'll look it up now. I'll ask ask, since I'm here, about the use of labels on scope.

Scope in Macro Scheduler refers only to variables.
