Include of a bdt works with global scope in a NameBlock instead of local scope

[César Pérez Álvarez]

If you try a code like this:

NameBlock a = Set data = Include("file.bdt") ?;
NameBlock b = Set data = Include("file.bdt") ?;

It does not work becouse there is an error of global series in file.bdt.

If you try this

NameBlock c = { Set data = Include("file.bdt") ?};
NameBlock d = { Set data = Include("file.bdt") ?};

It does not work too.

I will expect work this way:

If we have two series with same name (example "Serie1") and different bdt a would like to do this:
NameBlock a = Set data = Include("file1.bdt") ?;
NameBlock b = Set data = Include("file2.bdt") ?;

Serie sera = a::data::Serie1;
Serie sera = b::data::Serie1;

This is very useful when you have differents magnitudes for the same topic (for example magnitudes for geographical info).

Replying to cperez:

I think that problem was variable Real GlobalizeSeries. If you put Real GlobalizeSeries:=1, the thing runs what you expect. We must think in disable this behaviour in the future, must not we?

At first, this problem has no relation with NameBlock : this code is equivalent

  Set c = {[[ Set data = Include("file.bdt") ]]};
  Set d = {[[ Set data = Include("file.bdt") ]]};

When database queries were added to TOL, people ask for returning global objects in order to write more easy TOL code. Afterwords, they ask for BDT including global objects in the same way. Development team never was agree with this behaviour and Real GlobalizeSeries was created to allow disable it.

We don't know what people expects, somebody expects global series, other one expects local ones that is the historical behaviour and so the current default. To disable globalization of series you must set

  Real GlobalizeSeries := 0;

A test has been added to standard tol test battery at

Sorry, but I think this is no bug here.

Thanks for reporting.
