Nesting procedures in SCAR

In other pascal languages I've used you can put procedures inside other procedures like this:

Code (Text):

1.  
2. procedure outsideprocedure
3.    var
4.     oustidevar : integer;
5.    procedure insideprocedure
6.       var
7.        insidevar : string;
8.       begin
9.        <insidecodehere>
10.       end; //end inside procedure
11.    begin
12.     <outsidecodehere>
13.    end; //end outside procedure
14.  

but in SCAR when I do this i get a message saying begin expected on the : "procedure insideprocedure" line. How can I nest succesfully?!

 

Is it necessary to nest the procedures?

Possible to just move the begin since originally the inside procedure wasn't inside the outside procedure?

Code (Text):

1.  
2. procedure outsideprocedure
3. var
4.   oustidevar : integer;
5. begin
6.   procedure insideprocedure;
7.   var
8.     insidevar : string;
9.   begin
10.     <insidecodehere>
11.   end; //end inside procedure
12.   <outsidecodehere>
13. end; //end outside procedure
14.  

or Can't you just call the inside procedure from outside procedure like :

Code (Text):

1.  
2. procedure insideprocedure;
3. var
4.   insidevar : string;
5. begin
6.   <insidecodehere>
7. end; //end inside procedure
8.  
9. procedure outsideprocedure;
10. var
11.   oustidevar : integer;
12. begin
13.   insideprocedure;
14.   <outsidecodehere>
15. end; //end outside procedure
16.  

I don't know the benefits of nesting procedures like that since you still have to call it for it to fire.

 

the only thing you need to know about this is that the procedure you're calling MUST be before the caller.

Code (Text):

1. procedure IWasCalled
2. begin
3.   Blah Blah;
4. end;
5.  
6. procedure IMCalling
7. begin
8.   IWasCalled;
9. end;

 

Thanks you guys, I have managed to make it work now.The reason I wanted it nested was so that it could use the variables of the outside procedure, but without making them global. I've rewritten my code so that this is less of a problem. Thanks!
