http://lekkimworld.com/2007/03/22/anyone_who_have_used_the_deftype_statement_in_lotusscript.html While looking for something completely else in the Domino Designer 7 Help I stumbled over the Deftype keyword. I find it hard to find any usage for it but then again I always code with Options Explicit/Declare and type all my variables but still... ... en Mikkel Flindt Heisterberg Fri, 23 Mar 2007 12:58:25 GMT Mikkel Flindt Heisterberg 2007-03-23T12:58:25Z en Mikkel Flindt Heisterberg http://lekkimworld.com/ http://lekkimworld.com/2007/03/22/anyone_who_have_used_the_deftype_statement_in_lotusscript.html#comment1174654705881 I have run across code where in the Options section there was the following: Defcur c Defdbl d Defint i Deflng l Defsng g Defstr s Defvar v Then, the coder would declare variables like this... Dim cEarnedAnnPremAccm Dim cDedAmtPerAcc Dim cDedAmtAgg Dim lPolicyLink Dim lRecNotWritten Dim lPosition Dim iLoopCntr Dim iTotalNumOfPolicies Dim iThreadsafe Dim vStatus So three currency variables, three longs, three integers, and a variant.
