Declares one or more Short (two byte signed integer) variables.
To declare Short variables
Short {identifier} [… {identifier}]
Where
Where {identifier} is the name of a new Short variable.
{identifier} may be between 1 and 4096 characters in length, must start with a letter, and may not contain spaces. Recommended characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z and _ (underscore).
To declare array variables of type Short
Short{dimension-list} {identifier} […{identifier}]
Where
{dimension-list} is a list of one or more array dimensions for the array. A dimension list is declared using square brackets []. One pair of brackets is used to declare each dimension. If the array is static, then you must specify the static size of each dimension between each pair of brackets. i.e. [{size}]. For more information about declaring arrays refer to Array Variable Assignments.
{identifier} may be between 1 and 4096 characters in length, must start with a letter, and may not contain spaces. Recommended characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z and _ (underscore).
Short declares integer variables of 2 bytes in the range -32,768 to 32,767.
Multiple variables may be declared on one command line, with their names separated from each other by spaces..
Procedure DoTest
Short siMyVar
Move 1 To siMyVar
End_Procedure
This example declares a Short variable named siMyVar and initializes it.
Short[] siSeats
This example declares 1 dynamic array variable, named siSeats, containing an undefined number of elements of type Short.
Short[5] siSeats
This example declares 1 static array variable, named siSeats, containing 5 of elements of type Short.
Short[][3] siSeats
This example creates a two-dimensional dynamic array variable named siSeats, containing an undefined number of elements of type Short. Conceptually, this represents a rectangular array with an undefined number of rows, each of 3 columns.
You can declare dynamic multi-dimensional arrays where all dimensions are dynamic; these are called jagged arrays.
If you need to define a global Short variable, you should use the global_variable command to do so.
