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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

    ■ Specifies the type (INTEGER, LONG, SINGLE, DOUBLE, STRING,
      CURRENCY, or a user-defined type) for a variable in a declarative
      statement or parameter list. Types are:
 
      ■ INTEGER     A 16-bit signed integer variable.
      ■ LONG        A 32-bit signed integer variable.
      ■ SINGLE      A single-precision floating-point variable.
      ■ DOUBLE      A double-precision floating-point variable.
      ■ STRING      A string variable in a COMMON, DIM, REDIM, SHARED,
                    or STATIC statement. If STRING is followed by n, the
                    string has a fixed length of n bytes. If STRING is not
                    followed by n, the string is variable-length.
      ■ CURRENCY    An 8-byte signed integer variable with up to
                    four digits to the right of the decimal point;
                    15 digits to the left of the decimal point.
