The {{KW|OPTION BASE}} statement is used to set the default lower bound of arrays.

{{PageSyntax}}

:{{KW|OPTION BASE}} {0|1}

{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* This statement affects array declarations where the lower bound of a dimension is not specified.
|
|
* When used, {{KW|OPTION BASE}} must be used before any array declarations ({{KW|DIM}}) to be affected.
|
|
* By default, the lower bound for arrays is zero, and may be changed to one using the statement.
|
|
* Otherwise, arrays will be dimensioned from element 0 if you DIM just the upper bounds.
|
|
* You can also set other array boundaries by using {{KW|TO}} in the DIM such as: DIM array(5 TO 10)
|
|
* Note: Neither '''OPTION''' nor '''BASE''' can be used as numerical variable names.
|

''Example 1:'' Set the default lower bound for array declarations to one.
