Data Types
Modern Basic is now a typed language. Siebel VB includes variants and objects, in addition to the standard data types of string, numeric, array, and record.
Variables that are defined as variants can store any type of data. For example, the same variable can hold integers or strings, depending on the procedure.
Objects give you the ability to manipulate complex data supplied by an application, such as windows, forms, or COM objects.
