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out of date.
AS Clause Required
A variable declared with an AS clause is referenced without
one.
If the first declaration of a variable has an AS clause,
every subsequent DIM, REDIM, SHARED, and COMMON statement
that references that variable must have an AS clause.
