It must depend on declare's documented behaviour.

I think you're trying to have a Socratic dialogue with me, for which I'm grateful, but I'm not clear where it's leading, meaning that my confusion is increasing. Tye has given me a workaround, but no-one has answered outright my original question "Is there anything that will report the use of undeclared fully qualified variable names?". From the help I have received, I'm pretty sure that the answer is "no". I'm used to having to use fully qualified names to avoid "Bill Gates knows best" problems, so I was not expecting the behaviour I experienced until I read the docs, and I was expecting it to be the sort of issue that had been resolved by others. If (as seems to be the case) not, I shall have different expectations in future. But as I say, I'm not certain where this is leading. If it's somewhere useful, I shall be duly grateful.

Regards,

John Davies
