If you mean GLOBAL... all ARRAYS are always GLOBAL.

Example 1 :

Dim MyArray.l(41)
MyArray(0) = 1
MyArray(1) = 2

Example 2 :

Dim MultiArray.b(NbColumns,NbLines)
MultiArray(10,20) = 10
MultiArray(20,30) = 20

Maybe we should mention it in the helpfile

Have a nice day...

Franco,you mean we don't have to declare it at the
begining of your code. You mean anywere in your code and
it's gobal?

Well you have to DIM it, before you use it...

Sorry Franco, but I do believe that there is a local and
Global array(dim) like in VB or Pascal(delphi) or c/c++.
Still want to know how to do it.

The arrays are all global but you can have static arrays witin structures

the DIM keyword is used to resize an array.

Also take a look at shared and protected keywords.

'Dim is used to 'size' the new arrays.
Sure with Dim you can resize an array also,
but keep in mind that all information is lost...

Have a nice day...

Shared and Protected have nothing to do with Arrays, only with variables!
Arrays are always global, even if you define them inside a Procedure.

Just test it, you'll see.

i noticed a sorta bug with PB as reguards to this....
Although a LinkedList is global in scope,
you can't define one in a DLL unless its in some kind of
initialization routine. If you use
NewList MyList.MyType()
outside of a procedure, your DLL will not work correctly.
however, since its use is global, everthing is fine if
its in a DLL startup procedure.

AFAIK, all that's not in a Procedure won't be executed in a Dll.
That's why there are those EntryPoint Procedures.

But maybe i'm wrong here...

Yes, when building a dll, all code outside of a procedure is ignored as stated in the doc: "The DLL code is like a PureBasic code except than no real code should be written outside of procedure."
