Hi,

When you see the above type of declaration, it is to identify that the part of code is 'System Generated Variables'.

Hi,

The way it had declared was allowed NON-UNICODE programs... but not allowed in UNICODE versions...

Like that even hyphen '-' was also used in some programs but that is even not allowed in UNICODE Versions...

Hope this would help you.

Good luck.

Hi,

As already mentioned by others, it is the syntax for declaring object that are obsolete in upgrade version of unicode enable.

So better not to go with the syntax.
