basic.array.variable

Definition/BASIC Program, Releases: AP and R83

References a dimensioned array.

Description

references a dimensioned array.

Example

When an 'array.variable' is used to describe a dimensioned array, it
must be used with a subscript to indicate the specific variable descriptor in
the array:

a(10) or a(n)

Otherwise it must be used in a 'mat' statement to indicate all
elements in the array:

mat a = ''

This sets every variable in the array 'a' to null.

matread a from ......

This reads an item and parses the attributes to 'a'.
