Data objects
A data object is a variable, constant, or subobject of a constant.
A variable can have a value and can be defined or redefined during execution of an executable
program. A variable can be:
- A scalar variable name
- An array variable name
- A subobject
A subobject of a variable is a portion of a named object that you can reference or define. A
subobject can be:
- An array element.

A subobject of a constant is a portion of a constant. The referenced portion can depend on a variable value.
