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.
