$Static
Metacommand to change the way arrays are allocated
Syntax
`
'$Static
or
Rem $Static
`
Description
`'$Static` is a metacommand that overrides the behavior of `$Dynamic`, that is, arrays declared with constant subscript ranges are fixed-length. This remains in effect for the rest of the module in which `'$Static` is used, and can be overridden with `$Dynamic`.
Example
`
' compile with -lang fblite or qb
#lang "fblite"
'$dynamic
Dim a(100) '<<this array will be variable-length
'$static
Dim b(100) '<<this array will be fixed-length
`
Dialect Differences

- Only available in the -lang fblite and -lang qb dialects.

Differences from QB

- When used inside comments it must be the first token
