Description

Option Dynamic is a statement that specifies that any following array declarations are variable-length, whether they are declared with constant subscript ranges or not. This remains in effect for the rest of the module in which Option Dynamic is used, and can be overridden with Option Static. It is equivalent to the '$Dynamic metacommand.
