Reverts to default array declaration behavior

Syntax

Option Static

Description

Option Static is a statement that overrides the behavior of Option Dynamic, that is, arrays declared with constant subscript ranges are fixed-length. This remains in effect for the rest of the module in which Option Static is used, and can be overridden with Option Dynamic. It is equivalent to the '$Static metacommand.
