ARRAY()
Create an uninitialized array of specified length
- Syntax
-
- ARRAY( <nElements> [, <nElements>...] ) --> aArray
- Arguments
-
- <nElements> is the number of elements in the specified dimension.
- Returns
-
- <aArray> an array of specified dimensions.
- Description
-
- This function returns an uninitialized array with the length of <nElements>. Nested arrays are uninitialized within the same array pointer reference if additional parameters are specified. Establishing a memory variable with the same name as the array may destroy the original array and release the entire contents of the array. This depends, of course, on the data storage type of either the array or the variable with the same name as the array.
Examples
FUNCTION Main()
LOCAL aArray:=Array(10)
LOCAL x:=1
FOR x:=1 to LEN(aArray)
aArray[x]:=Array(x)
NEXT
Return Nil
