Specifies a default data type for a range of variable names

Syntax

` Deflongint start_letter[-end_letter ][, ...]

`

Parameters

start_letter

the first letter in the range

end_letter

the last letter in the range

Description

Deflongint specifies that variables and arrays which aren't declared with a data type - or not declared at all - are implicitly declared of type Longint if the first letter of their names matches a certain letter or lies within an inclusive range of letters.

Examples

This will make lNumber a Longint number since it's first letter starts with l.

start GeSHi

'' Compile with -lang fblite

#lang "fblite"

deflongint l
Dim lNumber

end GeSHi
