Message An expression specifying the bound is required when the keyword "static" is used in an array-bounds specifer. Keyword ignored. Description The keyword "static" appeared in an array-bounds specifier that did not have an expression describing the array bound. The keyword tells the compiler that actual arguments passed to this parameter will always have at least as many elements as specified in the formal parameter. It is inconsistent to specify the keyword without also supplying a value for the bound. User Action Remove the keyword or supply a value for the bound.
