MAXIMUM
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Obsolete Syntax
MAXIMUM dobj.
Effect
For each WRITE statement that writes
the content of the data object dobj to a list at any list level after the
statement MAXIMUM (forbidden in classes) is executed, the minimum value of
all values of dobj produced since the statement MAXIMUM
was executed with WRITE is determined and assigned to a data object max_dobj.
The statement MAXIMUM declares the global data object max_dobj
with the same type as dobj. All data objects can be specified for dobj
that can be written to a list using the statement WRITE. The statement MAXIMUM must not be specified within a
procedure and may be specified only once in every program.
Note
This statement is not permitted in classes because it works with implicitly created global variables.
The built-in function nmax can, for example, be used instead.
