Explicit
directive determines whether local variables may be implicitly declared. The directive may be followed by the keywords On
or Off
, if the On
/Off
keywords are omitted, then On
is assumed. If no directive is specified in a file, then the compilation environment determines which will be used. Explicit declaration semantics are covered in more detail in the Statements chapter.
