Triple declaration of same local/global doesn't replace

[RobertMason96]

Hi,

Perhaps this has been noted before.

(Using FORM 5.0.1) Declaring a local with the same name twice redefines the local. If you do it a third time (or more) it creates repeat locals that appear in print, but cannot be accessed through, for example, hide. The effects of identify statments do affect them.

For example

s x;
l result = 1+x;  
l result = 1+2*x;  
l result = 1+3*x;  
l result = 1+4*x;  
.sort  
id x=x^2;  
.sort  
Hide result;  
.sort  
print +s;  
.end  

Outputs at the print statement

  result =  
      1 + 2*x^2;  

   result =  
      1 + 3*x^2;

Hi Robert, thanks for the report. Indeed this is a known issue. I’m not sure if it is reported on GitHub yet.
