The ERASE statement is used to clear all data from an array. $STATIC Arrays dimensions are not affected.

Syntax

ERASE arrayName [, arrayName2…]

Description

• All string array elements become null strings (“”) and all numerical array elements become 0.
• Multiple arrays can be erased using commas between the array names.
• $DYNAMIC arrays must be REDIMensioned if they are referenced after erased.
• Dimension subprocedure arrays as STATIC to use ERASE and not have to REDIM.
• You do not have to include array brackets in an ERASE call.
