$Static

Metacommand to change the way arrays are allocated

Syntax

'$Static
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.

Remarks

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

Dim a(100)   '<<this array will be variable-length

Dim b(100)   '<<this array will be fixed-length
