Function Names
array, array protectDescription
array defines one or more arrays with all intial values provided directly. Already existing variable members will be eliminated.
The function array project will also apply the protection settings on all member variables created. See description for function protect() for details.
It may be useful to choose protection setting limited access in order to avoid accidental type changes on the array members.
Impact on base variables: The base variable values remain unaffected. These functions affect the members only.
Call as: procedure
Restrictions
Indirect parameter passing is disabled
Parameter count
array: 2, 4, 6, etc.; array protect: 3, 5, 7, etc.
Parameters
| No. | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 input |
string | Protection setting Applicable to array protect only. The supported protection settings are defined in the description for the function protect(). |
| 1, 3, ... or 2, 4, ... code |
variable :string |
Variable name The array will be built on the specified variable. Member variables of existing arrays and structures are allowed so you can build more complex data structures. |
| 2, 4, ... or 3, 5, ... input |
parameter set | Initial values If a simple parameter set is provided (no nested elements), then a one-dimensional array will be built. Nested paramter sets will create nested arrays. Default value: text |
Examples
array( a[], { 1,2,3,{4,5},6 } );
// Builds a[0] ... a[3] = { 1,2,3,6 }
// Builds a[3,0] and a[3,2] with 4 and 5
