Error when declaring the variable type

[hrZN]

Why do I always get an error when I declare the variable type?
For example if I put the following statement in my script I get an error:

Dim B As Boolean

Hi hrZN,

I'm not sure how this relates to one of our products, but what error do you get?

What scripting language are you using?

Hi hrZN,

It sounds like you are trying to use Visual Basic, not VBScript. SecureCRT supports VBScript, and in that language you do not specify a type (because all variables in VBScript are of type VARIANT).

So instead, you would use:

Dim B

Thank you Brenda, yes I thought it was Visual Basic, I did not know it is VBScript. That is a very useful information for me.

Hi hrZN,

One good resource is our VBScript manual, Scripting Essentials.
