Overview of Data Types
Siebel VB is a strongly typed language. A variable can contain data only of the declared type. It supports numeric, string, record, and array data that is standard with the Visual Basic programming language. It supports the following data types:
- Array
- Double-precision, floating-point number
- Double-precision integer
- Integer
- Object
- Record
- Single-precision, floating-point number
- String
- Variant
You can do one of the following to declare a variable:
- You can use a type character to implicitly declare a variable the first time your code references it. If you do not use a type character, then Siebel VB uses a default type of Variant.
- You can use the Declare Variable statement to explicitly declare the variable type. For more information, see Declare Variable Statement.
