DefUShort
Specifies a default data type for a range of variable names
DefUShort start_letter[-end_letter ][, ...]
start_letter
DefUShort specifies that variables and arrays which aren't declared with a data type - or not declared at all - are implicitly declared of type UShort if the first letter of their names matches a certain letter or lies within an inclusive range of letters.
This will make uNumber a UShort number since its first letter starts with u.
