NAME DIM, REDIM Statements SYNOPSIS DIM [SHARED] variable[(subscripts)] [AS type] [,variable[(subscripts)] [AS type]]... REDIM [SHARED] variable(subscripts) [AS type] [,variable(subscripts) [AS type]]... o SHARED Specifies that variables are shared with all SUB or FUNCTION procedures in the module. o variable The name of an array or variable. o subscripts Dimensions of the array, expressed as follows: [lower TO] upper [,[lower TO] upper]... lower The lower bound of the array's subscripts. The default lower bound is zero. upper The upper bound. o AS type Declares the data type of the array or variable (INTEGER, LONG, SINGLE, DOUBLE, STRING, or a user-defined data type). o DIM declares either static or dynamic arrays. Unless array storage has been determined by $STATIC, $DYNAMIC, or COMMON, arrays dimensioned with numbers are static and arrays dimensioned with variables are dynamic. REDIM always declares dynamic arrays. o Static array storage is allocated when you start a program and remains fixed. Dynamic array storage is allocated while a program runs. DESCRIPTION DIM declares an array or specifies a data type for a nonarray variable. REDIM declares or resizes a dynamic array, erasing any previous values. Example: ' $DYNAMIC DIM A(49, 49) REDIM A(19, 14) SEE ALSO COMMON ERASE OPTION BASE SHARED STATIC $STATIC $DYNAMIC
