Specifies variable-length array declarations

Syntax

Option Dynamic

Description

Option Dynamic is a statement that specifies that any following array declarations are variable-length, whether they are declared with constant subscript ranges or not. This remains in effect for the rest of the module in which Option Dynamic is used, and can be overridden with Option Static. It is equivalent to the '$Dynamic metacommand.

Example

'' Compile with "-lang fblite" compiler switch

#lang "fblite"

Dim foo(99) As Integer      ' declares a fixed-length array

Option Dynamic

Dim bar(99) As Integer      ' declares a variable-length array
' ...
ReDim bar(199) As Integer   ' resize the array
