| Inputs
 ARR
| Data type: | User-defined ARRAY |
| Description: | Array whose upper boundary value is to be returned. |
DIM
| Data type: | ANY_INT |
| Description: | Dimension of the user-defined array. If the value exceeds the possible number of dimensions for arrays, the function outputs a runtime error.
Note that currently only input value 1 is supported for this parameter. |
Output
OUT
| Data type: | DINT |
| Description: | Upper boundary value. |

Example
| Boundary detection using UPPER_BOUND together with LOWER_BOUND:
- Definition of the user-defined array ('MyArray') in the data types worksheet
TYPE MyArray : ARRAY [2..10000] OF INT;
END_TYPE
- LD code
The variable 'MyArrayVar' is of the data type 'MyArray'.

Error behavior
| Error behavior
The following table shows the errors which may occur while executing the function and the value returned by the function in the corresponding error case.
| Error case | Output value |
| No array connected to ARR | 0 |
| Dimension DIM < 1 or DIM > 1 | 0 |
If any of the listed errors occurs, an 'Argument out of range' error is written to the Online log in the MESSAGES window.

Additional information
| EN/ENO behavior
The POU is only executed if TRUE is applied to the EN input. If EN = FALSE, the POU is not executed and ENO = FALSE indicates the inactivity.
If any of the errors listed under "Error behavior" occurs while executing the function, ENO is set to FALSE.
