BASE

Returns the lower bound of an array dimension.

BASE( array-name[$],dimension )

Where:

dimension = integer between 1 and 6 ≤ RANK of array

Usage:

Lwr=BASE(Yarray$,Dim)

Uppr(2)=BASE(A,2)+SIZE(A,2)-2

Example: BASE.BAS

Description:

BASE returns the current lower bound of an array dimension. This might be different than the DIMensioned value if a REDIM or matrix statement has changed it. This function is also useful in a subprogram where an array is passed in as one of the parameters.
