A few weeks back, I switched over to using Strict Compile Mode in all my applications. SInce very few of my scripts declared any local variables, it was a time consuming task to get them all to compile error free.
I ended up writing a utility to help with the task and am making is available free to anyone who cares to use it. The stack name is setLocals and you can download it from my web site<http://www.lcsql.com/utilities.html#lcstackbrowser> . It's currently set up to work in conjunction with my lcStackbrowser plugin but that can be changed by altering a couple of lines of code to define the object whose script you want to update (the stack is not password protected). The Help for the stack will explain in detail how it works but the basics are that it will analyze the script of any object you point it to, and list the "local" statements required to declare all the variables in each handler. It will also insert the local statements into a copy of the script and "Apply" it, listing any compile errors that might occur. It saved me a good number of hours of tracking down undeclared variables and hope it might help anyone going through the same process. Feel free to adapt it as appropriate. I'll try to answer questions about it as time permits.
