Topic: Warning message from vlide

[MeasureUp]

I notice that there is a warning message popping up when clicking the button of "check edit window" for code with local function(s) in VLIDE window. Here is a sample:

Code: [Select]

(defun c:Test (/ ABC)
(defun ABC ()
(prompt "ABC.")
)
(if (eq (getstring "\nSecret Code: ") "Test")
(ABC)
)

(princ)
); end of Test

It returns the following:

[CHECKING TEXT Test.lsp loading...]
.
; warning: local variable used as function: ABC
; Check done.

What is wrong? and how to fix the code?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

It's only a friendly warning, nothing wrong with that (it will work), but, why do you use a local defun(ed) function in this situation?, do you really need it in that way? In most cases a Lambda will work perfectly, in this case you don't  even need a Lambda or inline function, just a  call to prompt and that's it. There are cases in which you may need to encapsulate a function in order to avoid collisions with some other pieces of code, or just for clarity, but this is not the case.

Thanks.
I am reviewing my codes and would like to localise the local functions.
"lambda" may not be the case.
