        VECTOR <var>vec_name</var>=<var>var_list</var>.

<p><code>VECTOR</code> allows a group of variables to be accessed as if they
were consecutive members of an array with a vector(index) notation.
</p>
<p>To make a vector out of a set of existing variables, specify a name
for the vector followed by an equals sign (&lsquo;<samp>=</samp>&rsquo;) and the variables
to put in the vector.  All the variables in the vector must be the same
type.  String variables in a vector must all have the same width.
</p>
<p>To make a vector and create variables at the same time, specify one or
more vector names followed by a count in parentheses.  This will cause
variables named <code><var>vec</var>1</code> through <code><var>vec</var><var>count</var></code>
to be created as numeric variables.  By default, the new variables
have print and write format F8.2, but an alternate format may be
specified inside the parentheses before or after the count and
separated from it by white space or a comma.  Variable names including
numeric suffixes may not exceed 64 characters in length, and none of
the variables may exist prior to <code>VECTOR</code>.
</p>
<p>Vectors created with <code>VECTOR</code> disappear after any procedure or
procedure-like command is executed.  The variables contained in the
vectors remain, unless they are scratch variables (see <a href="Scratch-Variables.html#Scratch-Variables">Scratch Variables</a>).
</p>
<p>Variables within a vector may be referenced in expressions using
<code>vector(index)</code> syntax.
