        Parentheses should be used in factored variable declarations

        Bug

          Why is this an issue?

          When multiple variables are DECLAREd in a single statement, parentheses must be used around the variable list to ensure the variable attributes in the statement are applied to all the variables in the declaration. Without parentheses, the attributes are applied only to the last variable in the list.

          Noncompliant code example

          DECLARE X,Y FIXED BIN(15);
          

          Compliant solution

          DECLARE (X,Y) FIXED BIN(15);
