What is the relationship between #REGISTER and REGISTER Var, i. e., does #REGISTER over-ride REGISTER Var or visa-versa?

"Visa-versa"
The #REGISTER metastatement works at two levels - a "global" setting, and a "local" setting for each Sub/Function/Method/Property. To set the global default #REGISTER options, it must precede all executable code. To override the global register option for an individual routine, it must be placed between the FUNCTION/END FUNCTION, SUB/END SUB, METHOD/END METHOD, or PROPERTY/END PROPERTY pairs before any executable code. -
José:
That's mentions #REGISTER but has no reference to REGISTER Var.
I'm guessing that REGISTER Var over-rides #REGISTER, but the docs are a little fuzzy about it.REGISTER statement
Purpose
To define Register variables, which are local to a Sub or Function. The REGISTER statement provides an optimization hint to the compiler.
Syntax
REGISTER variable [AS type] [, variable [AS type]]Walt DeckerComment

Otherwise it will no make sense the following:I'm guessing that REGISTER Var over-rides #REGISTER
The REGISTER statement allows you to choose which variables will be classified as Register variables.Comment
