The [[OPTION BASE]] statement is used to set the default lower bound of arrays.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
: [[OPTION BASE]] {0|1}
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* This statement affects array declarations where the lower bound of a dimension is not specified.
|
|
* When used, [[OPTION BASE]] must come before any array declarations ([[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 [[TO]] in the DIM declaration such as {{InlineCode}}DIM array(5 TO 10){{InlineCodeEnd}}
