Metacommand to change the way arrays are allocated

Syntax

'$Static

or

rem $Static

Description

'$Static is a metacommand that overrides the behavior of $Dynamic, that is, arrays declared with constant subscript ranges are fixed-length. This remains in effect for the rest of the module in which '$Static is used, and can be overridden with $Dynamic. It is equivalent to the Option Static statement.

Examples

start GeSHi

' compile with -lang fblite or qb

#lang "fblite"

'$dynamic
Dim a(100)   '<<this array will be variable-length
'$static
Dim b(100)   '<<this array will be fixed-length

end GeSHi

Dialect Differences

• Only available in the -lang fblite and -lang qb dialects.

Differences from QB

• When used inside comments it must be the first token
