Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

and cannot be used in the Immediate window. In general,
the following statements and metacommands cannot be used
in the Immediate window:
  ■ COMMON, CONST, DATA, DECLARE, DIM, OPTION, SHARED,
    STATIC, and TYPE nonexecutable statements
  ■ $INCLUDE, $DYNAMIC, $STATIC metacommands
  ■ DEF FN...END DEF, ELSE IF, END IF, END TYPE
    FUNCTION...END FUNCTION, REDIM, and SUB...END SUB
    statements
