Description/Parameter(s)
| INTEGER | A 16-bit signed integer variable. |
| LONG | A 32-bit signed integer variable. |
| SINGLE | A single-precision 32-bit floating-point variable. |
| DOUBLE | A double-precision 64-bit floating-point variable. |
| STRING * n% | A fixed-length string variable n% bytes long. |
| STRING | A variable-length string variable. |
Description/Parameter(s)
| INTEGER | specifies that a variable is a 16-bit signed integer. |
| LONG | specifies that a variable is a 32-bit signed integer. |
| SINGLE | specifies that a variable is single-precision floating-point. |
| DOUBLE | specifies that a variable is double-precision floating-point. |
| STRING | specifies that a variable is a string, in a COMMON, DIM, REDIM, SHARED or STATIC statement. If STRING is followed by * n, the string has a fixed length of n bytes. If no specification follows, the string is variable-length. |
