Symptoms

Integer variables defined in a loop are still available outside of the loop. Therefore, the function can be saved/validated even if the variable is referenced outside the loop. An error should show.

For other types of variables, if the variable defined in a loop is utilized outside the look an error is received when trying to save the function:
"Compilation error: Variable [variable name] is being used in line [line number], column [column number] without initialization."
