The {{KW|UBOUND}} function returns the largest valid index (upper bound) of an array dimension.


{{PageSyntax}}
:''result%'' = {{KW|UBOUND}}(arrayName[, dimension%])

* {{Parameter|arrayName}} specifies the name of the array.

* {{Parameter|dimension%}} specifies the dimension number, starting with <code>1</code> for the first dimension.
** If omitted, {{Parameter|dimension%}} is assumed to be <code>1</code>.
** If {{Parameter|dimension%}} is less than <code>1</code> or is greater than the number of dimensions, a [[ERROR Codes|subscript out of range]] error occurs.

* {{KW|UBOUND}}, along with {{KW|LBOUND}}, is used to determine the range of valid indexes of an array.
