The DECLARE statement declares a variable of the specified type (and optionally as an array) for future use. For further information, refer to the Basic Types reference. This statement is provided for dual-syntax similarities to the Visual Basic "Dim" statement, as the Shiny compiler operates as though the Visual Basic "Option Explicit" setting is used.
