BOOLEAN Type
Function
Declare one or more variables of type boolean.
Syntax
BOOLEAN var|arr(s[,s[,s]])[,var|arr(s[,s[,s]])]
var - The name of a variable to declare. Must start with a letter
[A-Z] which may be followed by letters, digits [0-9] or the
underscore [_]. May be of any length but only the first 32
characters are used.
arr - The name of an array variable to declare. The same naming
conventions as var are used.
s - The size (0-based) of an array variable dimension. Any
constant integer expression is allowed.
Remarks
BOOLEAN variables can hold two values: 1 or 0 (TRUE or FALSE). It is
stored internally as a one byte unsigned character. If a BOOLEAN is
assigned to or from an INTEGER type then the value 1 or 0 is assigned.
If a BOOLEAN is assigned to a STRING type then it is automatically
converted to a string (either "1" or "0"). If a STRING is assigned to a
BOOLEAN then the value of the string will be used; a 0 value will be
taken as is, another other value will be converted to 1. All other types,
when assigned to or from a BOOLEAN, will be converted to an INTEGER
first before being assigned to or from the BOOLEAN type.
