VBScript » Statements » Option Explicit
Version: 1.0
- Syntax:
- <%Option Explicit%>
The Option Explicit statement forces the explicit declaration
of all variables using the Dim, Private, Public, or ReDim
statements.
In a long program, this statement prevents the accidental reuse of the
name of a previously declared variable. Also, if you mistype a declared
variable's name or try to use an undeclared variable, an error message
is generated.
Examples
Code:
<% Option Explicit %>
< HTML >
< HEAD >
< TITLE > EXAMPLE < /TITLE >
< /HEAD >
< BODY >
<%
Dim myvariable,yourvar
myvariable = 123.456
yourvar = 0
%>
< /BODY >
< /HTML >Explanation:
Note that the Option Explicit statement must be placed at the top of the code before any other VBScript commands or any HTML code.
