A qualified named reference uses the : and :: operators to provide specific information about where a referenced variable resides, or where it is created. Examples of qualified named references include the following:
:var
::globalvar
datatable:var
nsref:var
"nsname":var
An unqualified named reference provides no explicit information to completely identify where a variable resides or where it is created. No scoping operator (: or ::) is specified in the reference. To change the behavior of JMP when resolving unqualified named variable references, use the Names Default To Here(1) function. For more details about variable name resolution, see the Rules for Name Resolution in JSL Building Blocks.
