MVBASIC Reference

Store a value in a scalar, dimensioned array, dynamic-array field, or substring.

variable = expression
variable := expression
array(idx) = expression
dynamic.array<attribute[,value[,subvalue]]> = expression
variable[start,length] = expression

The equals form replaces the target value. A colon immediately before equals appends to a simple scalar; variable = variable : expression is also recognized as an append. Parentheses address a dimensioned or COMMON array, angle brackets replace an attribute, value, or subvalue in a dynamic array, and square brackets replace a substring at a one-based start position.

• Variable names are case-insensitive.
• Assignment targets must use one of the documented scalar, array, dynamic-array, or substring forms.
