Keywords (topic)

A keyword is any word or symbol recognized by the Basic Control Engine as part of the language. All of the following are keywords:
  • Built-in subroutine names, such as MsgBox and Print .
  • Built-in function names, such as Str$ , CDbl , and Mid$ .
  • Special keywords, such as To , Next , Case , and Binary .
  • Names of any extended language elements.
Restrictions All keywords are reserved by the Basic Control Engine , in that you cannot create a variable, function, constant, or subroutine with the same name as a keyword. However, you are free to use all keywords as the names of structure members.
