How do I declare a fixed-length string array?
 
Here is an example:
 
    DIM FixedStringArray(1 TO 100) AS STRING * 16
 
Any unused space in a particular element will be padded with spaces.
 
A fixed-length string array name cannot include the dollar sign ($) suffix,
which denotes a variable-length string. References to the array and
manipulation of string elements works the same as with any other string
array. For example, the following statement prints the left two characters
of the 10th array element:
 
     PRINT LEFT$(FixedStringArray(10),2)
