Reserved Words in Declarations
All EQUEL keywords are reserved: therefore, you cannot declare variables with the same names as EQUEL keywords. You can only use them in quoted string literals. These words are:
byte
decimal
double
functionend
real
subend
case
declare
dynamic
group
record
variant
com
def
external
integer
single
word
common
dim
fnend
long
string
constant
dimension
function
map
sub
The EQUEL preprocessor does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase in keywords. In generating BASIC code, it converts any uppercase letters in keywords to lowercase.
