STATEMENT:  Public

Implemented in version 1.0
 
Public
 
The Public statement is used to declare a new public variable or array. You can declare more than one variable and/or array at a time. Memory is also allocated. You cannot declare a variable and assign a value to it at the same time.

The purpose of Public has changed with the addition of Class to VBScript. The recommendation is to only use Public inside a Class. A variable declared using Public in a Class becomes a public property of that Class. That means that other code contained in the same Class can access the variable.

If declared within a script, the results are the same as using Dim or Private, the public variable or array is available for use in the entire script.
 
Code:
<%
Public  YourNumber
%>

<%
' First declare
Public  YourNumber
' Then assign a value
YourNumber = 1895.405
%>

<%
Public  SomeNumber, MyVar, AnotherString
%>
