$PARDCL( name ) type(3) init(0) comment()

Purpose

Parameters

name

Name of the global parameter to be defined. A global parameter may be defined as an array of up to 15 dimensions. In this case a comma-separated list of upper bounds, enclosed in parantheses () must follow the global parameter name. The lower bounds are always assumed to be 1.

type(t)

't' specifies the global parameter data type:

• 0: boolean
• 1: short (2 bytes)
• 2: long (4 bytes)
• 3: float (4 bytes)
• 4: double (8 bytes)
• >=5: char[t+1]

Default type is 3

init(val)

Initialization constant(s) for the global parameter. To initialize arrays, constants may be preceded by a repetition factor enclosed in parentheses. By default, parameters are initialized as zero (numerical variables), false (booleans) or null strings (characters), respectively.

comment(c)

Comment text 'c' is kept with the global parameter.
