The [[$STATIC]] [[Metacommand|metacommand]] allows the creation of static (unresizable) arrays.

{{PageSyntax}}

:{[[REM]] | [[apostrophe|']] } [[$STATIC]]

|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* QBasic [[Metacommand]]s require a REM or apostrophy (') before them and are normally placed at the start of the main module.
|
|
* Static arrays cannot be resized. If a variable is used to size any array, it becomes [[$DYNAMIC]].
|
|
* A [[REDIM]] statement has no effect on [[$STATIC]] arrays except perhaps a [[ERROR Codes|duplicate definition error]] at the [[REDIM]] statement.
|
|
* The array's type cannot be changed once [[DIM]] and a literal value sets the dimensions and element size.
|
|
* [[$STATIC]] defined program [[arrays]] cannot be [[REDIM|re-sized]] or use [[_PRESERVE]].
