Here is the Namespace configuration in Installer class:

Class App.Installer
{

XData setup
{
<Manifest>
  <Default Name="SourceDir" Value="/opt/feeder/src"/>
  <Default Name="Namespace" Value="FEEDER"/>
  <Default Name="Resource" Value="%DB_DEFAULT"/>

  <Namespace Name="${Namespace}" Code="${Namespace}" Data="${Namespace}" Create="yes" Ensemble="1">
    <Configuration>
      <Database Name="${Namespace}" Dir="/voldata/irisdb/feeder" Create="yes" Resource="${Resource}"/>
    </Configuration>

I see the resource is %DB_DEFAUILT with all UPPERCASE.

Hi, Julius. Thank you for responding to my question.

I work for Department of Veterans Affairs. I believe the coding standard including prohibiting argumentless or exclusive NEW is not new.

Someone modified old code to become non-interactive. Unfortunately they did not follow coding standard and now it is up to me to fix it. I found where variables are killed.

I think a class method using procedure block should be equivalent to exclusive new. All variables are hidden except parameters or public list.
