Hi Thomas:

I've refered to LOCALs like this:

LOCAL var1 ;
   , var2 ;
   , etc ;

Having all vars in line, grouped or individual 1 by line is not the problem and anyone have it's preferences, but leaving the final ";" open in the last statement COULD BE a real problem, because if you, by mistake, write some code in the inmediate next line, then VFP will interpret that as a continuation on the last ";", generating all kind of "rare" problems that not allways are visible at first, and even can not generate a compilation error.
