A quick question of the scope of Host Variables. In particular structures.

I have a structure that I typedef at the top of my C file (outside of any functions) and outside of an EXEC SQL DECLARE SECTION...

Inside several of my functions, I create instances of the structure with in an EXEC SQL DECLARE SECTION. In a few cases, I use the same variable name. Everything compiles. I don't get any duplicate definition errors, but when I run the program, the instances of the structures seem to be global. Shouldn't the variables be treated as local within a given function?

Thanks in Advance
