Specifying the Type When You Declare a Variable

You can specify one of the following types when you declare a variable:

• Arrays

• Numbers

• Records

• Strings

• Variants

• Objects

If you do not specify a data type, then Siebel VB assigns the variant data type to this variable.

If you do not include the As clause, then you can specify the type argument.To specify this argument, you use a type character as a suffix of the variableName argument. You can use both type specification techniques in a single Declare Variable statement. You cannot use them simultaneously on the same variable.

You can write code that omits the type character when your code references the variable. The type suffix is not part of the variable name.
