	**Option Dynamic**

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	##**Option Dynamic**## is a statement that specifies that any following array declarations are variable-length, whether they are declared with constant subscript ranges or not. This remains in effect for the rest of the module in which ##**Option Dynamic**## is used, and can be overridden with ##[[KeyPgOptionstatic Option Static]]##.  It is equivalent to the ##[[KeyPgMetaDynamic '$Dynamic]]## metacommand.
