GFORM

SWDBC

The GFORM definitions defines a decimal numeric variable or an array of such. If an array is defined, each array item may be initialized. It uses one of the following formats:

(1)	[label]	GFORM	[]{size*}
(2)	[label]	GFORM	[]{value*}
(3)	[label]	GFORM	[]{size}({arraysize*})
(4)	[label]	GFORM	[]{value}({arraysize*})
(5)	[label]	GFORM	[]{size}({arraysize}),({value}),...,({value*})
(6)	[label]	GFORM	[]{size}({arraysize},...,{arraysize*})
(7)	[label]	GFORM	[]{value}({arraysize},...,{arraysize*})
(8)	[label]	GFORM	[]{size}({arraysize},...,{arraysize}),({value}),...,({value*})
(9)	[label]	GFORM	[]{size}({arraysize}), INITIAL {dvalue*}, ...
