Sequence Determines How You Must Declare Code

Siebel Tools compiles custom methods in alphabetical order. If you reference code in the current code before you define it, then you must use a declaration. For example, assume you create the following subroutines in the general declarations section:

Sub A
' Calling B
B
End Sub

Sub B
theApplication.RaiseErrorText "Sub B called"
End Sub

In this situation, compilation fails with the following message:

Unknown function: B

If you add the following statement before Sub A, then the code compiles and runs properly:

Declare Sub B
