Variable_Declaration

 A VAR section declares variables and  associates  each  variable
 with an identifier, a type, and optionally an initial value.


 Syntax:

    VAR
       {{variable-identifier},... : [[attribute-list]] type-denoter 
            [[ {:= | VALUE} initial-state-specifier]]};...

 The 'variable-identifier' is  the  identifier  of  the  variable
 being declared.

 The 'attribute-list' is one or more  optional  identifiers  that
 provide additional information about the variable.

 The 'type-denoter' is any legal Pascal type syntax.

 The 'initial-state-specifier' is any constant expression that is
 assignment   compatible   with  the  variable  identifier.   The
 variable is initialized to this expression.  See the "HP  Pascal
 Language  Reference  Manual" for the rules that apply to the use
 of initial-state specifiers on variables.

 You can use either the assignment operator (:=) or the  reserved
 word  VALUE.   However, if you require portable code, you should
 use VALUE.

 Example:

    TYPE
       Hours_worked = ARRAY [1..10] OF INTEGER;

    VAR
       Answer, Rumor : Boolean;
       Temp : INTEGER VALUE 60;
       Grade : 'A'..'D';
       Weekly_hours : Hours_worked VALUE [1..3 : 7; OTHERWISE 5];


 This  VAR  section  declares  five  variables.   The   variables
 'Answer'  and  'Rumor'  are both Boolean variables; 'Temp' is an
 integer variable initialized with the value 60; 'Grade' is of  a
 character   subrange   type   consisting   of   the   characters
 'A','B','C', and 'D'; 'Weekly_hours' is declared to  be  of  the
 user-defined array type 'Hours_worked' and is initialized with a
 constructor of integers.
