How do I declare a dynamic array?
 
You can do this five different ways:
 
    1. Use the $DYNAMIC metacommand before declaring the array:
 
         REM $DYNAMIC
         DIM MyArray(1 TO 100) AS STRING * 16
 
    2. Declare the array with a variable or expression:
 
         X = 100
         DIM MyArray(X) AS STRING * 16
 
    3. Declare the array after it is declared in a COMMON statement:
 
         COMMON SHARED  MyArray() AS STRING * 16
         DIM MyArray(1 TO 100) AS STRING * 16
 
    4. Use the REDIM statement.
 
    5. Use DIM within a SUB procedure; this always creates a dynamic array.
