Static Statement

Declares a variable or an array at the procedure level within a subroutine or a function, so that the values of the variable or the array are retained after exiting the subroutine or function. Dim statement conventions are also valid.

Warning Icon

The Static statement cannot be used to define variable arrays. Arrays must be specified according to a fixed size.
