Problem Topic
Sect.2.2.5: Contradiction in text
Problem Description
Page 5, section 2.2.5
The section starts with the statement "All DMIS variables are declared..."
Later in the section it says "All variables not explicitly declared in the main program are global to the entire program. Variables not explicitly declared in a routine are local to that routine."
The second two statements contradict the first.
It looks as though the word "not" should be deleted in the two places it appears in the second quote above.

Suggested Resolution
Rewrite the paragraph. If deleting "not" in the two places suggested makes
the paragraph say what it is intended to say, do that. Otherwise, fix it
some other way.

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
