ABSTRACT

VB names are not case sensitive, but VB does preserve capitalization from the statement where the name is declared.

9.3 Data Types €e data types to de›ne variables and arrays of variables in the simulation program are shown in Table 9.1. Each of the data types, with the exception of Collection, is commonly used in a DEEDS model. However, collections are ubiquitous in the DEEDS simulator. Similar to the idea of userchains in General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS), an advanced user may de›ne a Collection to manage a list of transactions or instances of other DEEDS de›ned classes that include Source, Queue, Delay, Facility, Statistic, Table, PDF, and Transaction.
