SYNOPSIS
  DECLARE {FUNCTION | SUB} name [([parameterlist])]
      o name             The name of the procedure.
      o parameterlist    One or more variables that specify parameters to be
                         passed to the procedure when it is called:
                         variable[( )] [AS type] [, variable[( )] [AS type]]...
                         variable    A Basic variable name.
                         type        The data type of the variable (INTEGER,
                                     LONG, SINGLE, DOUBLE, STRING, or a
                                     user-defined data type). ANY allows any
                                     data type.

        automatically generates DECLARE statements when you save your program.
