Local Variables in stacked sequences

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 3 kudos within 3 years after posting will be automatically declined.

 

In a stacked sequence a local variable is only on one side (normaly to the right).

I think many of us are programming from the left to the right, so please

 

1.) add a second output of the sequence on the other side, or

2.) allow to move the output on page 1 to the left, but independed of the input on page 0

This has been basically suggested (and rejected) here - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Stacked-Sequence/idi-p/918243

I have to agree with the people that opposed the idea in the other thread.

 

I shall quote Altenbach's response:

 

"I would strongly oppose to add any new functionality to stacked seqeunces, they simply don't belong in any serious code.  Stacked sequences attract the same criticism as the goto command in text based code.

 

Sequence locals are probably the the most annoying objects found in LabVIEW code."
