setArrayLength() Method

This function sets the first index and length of an array.

Syntax

setArrayLength(array[, minIndex], length])

Usage

This function sets the length of array to a range bounded by minIndex and length. If three parameters are supplied, minIndex is the minimum index of the newly sized array, and length is the length. Any elements outside the bounds set by minIndex and length become undefined. If only two parameters are passed to setArrayLength(), the second parameter is length and the minimum index of the newly sized array is 0 by default.

CAUTION:  The ST eScript engine does not support negative array indices. If you defined arrays with negative indices using the T eScript engine in Siebel Business Applications releases prior to 7.8, then you must redefine their index ranges and any references based on index values. An alternative to using setArrayLength is to set array lengths with the length property of the Array object.

CAUTION:  The setArrayLength() function is unique to Siebel eScript. Before using it, confirm that the JavaScript interpreter that will run the script supports Siebel eScript functions. Avoid using this function in a script that may be used with a JavaScript interpreter that does not support it.
