Declares array variables. When declaring arrays, remember that the array's index starts from 0 and its last index is array length - 1. Array variables and structures can only be global and therefore must first be declared in the initial source code block. Array variables can then be re-declared anywhere in any Sub in the program. The same array can be re-declared many times and its size can be changed. You can use ArrayLen to find the length (size) of an array. Arrays of up to three dimensions may be declared.

While arrays cannot be passed as parameters to Sub and received as return values they can be indirectly accessed by GetItem, GetLength and SetItem which accept an array name as a string to identify the array. This allows an array name to be passed as a parameter to a Sub to define the array that the Sub should manipulate.

Syntax: Dim VariableName(Length1[, Length2 [, Length3]] )

Example:
Dim items(10, 3, 2)
