Deflongint
Specifies a default data type for a range of variable names
Deflongint start_letter[-end_letter ][, ...]
start_letter
Deflongint specifies that variables and arrays which aren't declared with a data type - or not declared at all - are implicitly declared of type LongInt if the first letter of their names matches a certain letter or lies within an inclusive range of letters.
This will make lNumber a LongInt number since it's first letter starts with l.
Syntax
Deflongint start_letter[-end_letter ][, ...]
Parameters
start_letter
the first letter in the range
end_letterthe last letter in the range
