[Gambas-user] Dynamically changed arrays

Hi Rob,

100 % agree, I have an Option Explicit in all modules in VB to avoid 
confusion.

But now I found another problem:

DIM i AS INTEGER

is ok, no problem, but

STATIC x AS INTEGER

doesn't run, it says "syntax error". I tried

STATIC PRIVATE x AS INTEGER

but it won't run, too.

I need static variables that keep their contents to the next call of the 
sub or function, and that is what it's supposed to do, isn't it? Or did 
I get that somewhat wrong? The text in the docu isn't quite clear about 
this.
