Are Dim global's etc always placed at the datasection?

Or can I speed it up by doing the following

Code: Select all

DataSection
Dim test.s(100)
For i = 0 To 100
 test(i)="nr" +Str(i)
Next i
EndDataSection


OpenConsole()
For i = 0 To 100
 Print (test(i) )
 PrintN ("")
Next i

Print ("press enter key")
Input() 
CloseConsole()

End

I don't think so. DataSection is only for embedding data into your executable. Arrays and things are allocated from memory when you dim them.
