1 DIMENSION
 The DIMENSION statement creates and names a static,  dynamic,  or  virtual
 array,  or redimensions an existing array.  The array subscripts determine
 the dimensions and size of the array.  You can specify the  data  type  of
 the array and associate the array with an I/O channel.

 Examples

 DIM STRING Name_list(100,100), BYTE Age(100)
 DIM #1%, STRING Emp_name_list(500), REAL Amount(500)
 DIM DOUBLE Inventory(Base, Markup)

     {DIMENSION} chnl-exp,{[data-type] array-name
          (int-const,...)[=int-const]},...

 Executable:
