Specifies the type (INTEGER, LONG, SINGLE, DOUBLE, STRING, or a
user-defined type) for a variable in a declarative statement or
parameter list.
INTEGER - specifies that a variable is a 16-bit signed integer.
LONG    - specifies that a variable is a 32-bit signed integer.
SINGLE  - specifies that a variable is single-precision floating-point.
DOUBLE  - specifies that a variable is double-precision floating-point.
STRING  - specifies that a variable is a string, in a COMMON, DIM,
              REDIM, SHARED or STATIC statement. If is STRING is followed
              by * n, the string has a fixed length of n bytes. If no
              specification follows, the string is variable-length.
