variables with a number as variable name

In my QVW, when I look at the variable over, I notice that I have some variables where the variable name is the same as the value of the variable (ie, variable name "10" has a value of 10.  I didn't create these.  Any clue as to where they come from and how to prevent them going forward?

thanks

This is usually caused from the iteration of loops like for ... next. I remember of an older posting in which the technically background of this feature was discussed and if it should be considered as bug or not and the opinions to it were quite different (unfortunately I couldn't find this discussion).

Now I found this old posting and it wasn't mainly related to loops (although it happens in some cases there too) else to sub-routines: Re: Literals as sub parameters become variables.
