OPTION EXPLICIT statement

Purpose

Force explicit declaration of all variables.

Syntax

OPTION EXPLICIT

Remarks

Using OPTION EXPLICIT in a program has the same effect as using the #DIM ALL metastatement.  That is, it requires that all variables be declared before they are used.

When this option is used, the compiler generates a compile-time error if a variable or array is used without being explicitly declared.
