ARRAY DATE

ARRAY DATE 


 

ARRAY DATE ( arrayName ; size {; size2} ) 
Parameter Type   Description
arrayName  Array in Name of the array
size  Longint in Number of elements in the array or Number of rows if size2 is specified
size2  Longint in Number of columns in a two-dimensional array

 The ARRAY DATE command creates and/or resizes an array of Date elements in memory.

  • The arrayName parameter is the name of the array.
  • The size parameter is the number of elements in the array.
  • The size2 parameter is optional; if size2 is specified, the command creates a two-dimensional array. In this case, size specifies the number of rows and size2 specifies the number of columns in each array. Each row in a two-dimensional array can be treated as both an element and an array. This means that while working with the first dimension of the array, you can use other array commands to insert and delete entire arrays in a two-dimensional array.

While applying to an existing array:

  • If you enlarge the array size, the existing elements are left unchanged, and the new elements are initialized to the null date (!00/00/00!).
  • If you reduce the array size, the last elements deleted from the array are lost.

This example creates a process array of 100 Date elements:

 ARRAY DATE(adValues;100)

This example creates a local array of 100 rows of 50 Date elements:

 ARRAY DATE($adValues;100;50)

This example creates an interprocess array of 50 Date elements, and sets each element to the current date plus a number of days equal to the element number:

 ARRAY DATE(◊adValues;50)
 For($vlElem;1;50)
    ◊adValues{$vlElem}:=Current date+$vlElem
 End for
