    Buffers: p2j_test.bb

In FWD will emit the bb scope at the FOR EACH block in proc1 instead of the external program.

The same happens for a temp-table explicit buffer.

It seems that in OpenEdge, explicit buffers defined at the root level must be scoped at the root level if they are used in an internal entry. But the test needs to be expanded to find the extent for this.
