DefByte
Specifies a default data type for a range of variable names
DefByte start_letter[-end_letter ][, ...]
start_letter
DefByte specifies that variables and arrays which aren't declared with a data type - or not declared at all - are implicitly declared of type Byte if the first letter of their names matches a certain letter or lies within an inclusive range of letters.
This will make bNumber a Byte number since it's first letter starts with b:
Syntax
DefByte start_letter[-end_letter ][, ...]
Parameters

Description

'' Compile with -lang fblite or qb
#lang "fblite"
DefByte b
Dim bNumber
#lang "fblite"
DefByte b
Dim bNumber
Dialect Differences
