Andrew, thanks for the explanation. I will provide more details
as reply to Michael's thread. We might need alternative fix for
this issue. Lets have more discussion in that thread if needed.

Yeah, I think it can be removed and to declare @pdev at the top of the function.

I think it's not bad idea if @pdev is invisible out of the block
of code, for a bit better code readability. However, those who
are maintaining the code might have their own personal tastes.
If it's your preferrence, I need to follow for sure.
