Syntax
- DECLARE {FUNCTION | SUB} name [([parameterlist])]
Description/Parameter(s)
| name | The name of the procedure. |
| parameterlist | One or more variables that specify parameters to be passed to the procedure when it is called: |
| variable[( )] [AS type] [, variable[( )] [AS type]]… | |
| variable | A Basic variable name. |
| type | The data type of the variable (INTEGER, LONG, SINGLE, DOUBLE, STRING, or a user-defined data type). ANY allows any data type. |
DECLARE is required if you call SUB procedures without CALL. QBasic automatically generates DECLARE statements when you save your program.
Example
The program REMLINE.BAS illustrates declaring FUNCTION and SUB procedures. To view or run this program, load REMLINE.BAS using the Open command from the File menu.
