Local variables in inner subprograms

SQL Assistant 6.2.112
Notepad++ 6.1.6
Oracle Database 11g (11.2.0.2)

The SQL Assistant doesn't display the "Local variables" section after an inner subprogram inside an Oracle package.

Example:
There is a package body. The package body consists of two subprograms (outer_func1 and outer_proc1). The outer_func1 subprogram has two inner (local) subprograms (inner_proc1 and inner_func2). Please find the code of the package body below.

Code:

1 create or replace package body pkg1
2 as
3 function outer_func1 (
4 outer_func1_p1 in pls_integer
5 , outer_func1_p2 in varchar2
6 )
7 return pls_integer
8 is
9 i pls_integer;
10
11 procedure inner_proc1 (
12 inner_proc1_p1 in pls_integer
13 , inner_proc1_p2 in varchar2
14 )
15 is
16 begin
17 null;
18
19 end inner_proc1;
20
21 function inner_func2 (
22 inner_func2_p1 in pls_integer
23 , inner_func2_p2 in varchar2
24 )
25 return boolean
26 is
27 begin
28 return true;
29
30 end inner_func2;
31
32 begin
33
34 i := case
35 when outer_func1_p1 = 1 then
36 2
37 else
38 3
39 end;
40
41 return i;
42
43 end outer_func1;
44
45 function outer_proc1 (
46 outer_proc1_p in number
47 )
48 is
49 begin
50 dbms_output.put_line( outer_proc1_p );
51
52 end outer_proc1;
53
54 end pkg1;
55 /

Try to invoke (Ctrl+Space) the SQL Assistant on different lines of the script and look at the outcome:

a) The 10th line. There is the "Local variables" section with "outer_func1_p1", "outer_func1_p2" and "i" in it. The behavior is as expected.
b) The 18th line. There is the "Local variables" section with "outer_func1_p1", "outer_func1_p2", "i", "inner_proc_p1" and "inner_proc_p2" in it. The behavior is as expected.
c) The 29th line. There are "inner_func2_p1" and "inner_func2_p2" parameters only. Should be "outer_func1_p1", "outer_func1_p2", "i", "inner_func2_p1" and "inner_func2_p2".
d) The 33rd line. There is no the "Local variables" section. Should be "outer_func1_p1", "outer_func1_p2" and "i" in the section.
e) The 51st line. There is "outer_proc1_p" in the "Local variables" section. The behavior is as expected.

Please note that instead of the package body can be a type body or some inner subprograms, in their turn, can also have inner subprograms - the outcome will be the same.

Thank you for your feedback. I believe the built-in PL/SQL parser chocks on the inner function, it doesn't know how to handle that syntax. SQL Assistant doesn't currently support parsing of inner functions. As a result, the "Local variables" cannot be found and that section is missing in the popup.

I'm going to submit an enhancement request for implementing parsing of package inner functions and procedures.
