$Statickeyword

Metacommand to change the way arrays are allocated

Syntax

'$Static

Rem $Static

Description

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