Creating Empty Arrays

If you create an array using CreateArray of any data type other than ANY, the new array is not empty: it contains one item. If you need to create a completely empty array that contains 0 elements, use one of the following:

Local Array of Number &AN;
Local Array of String &AS;
Local Array of Record &AR;
Local Array of Array of Number &AAN;
Local Record &REC;

&AN = CreateArrayRept(0,0); /* creates an empty array of number */
&AS = CreateArrayRept("", 0); /* creates an empty array of string */
&AR = CreateArrayRept(&REC, 0); /*create empty array of records */
&AAN = CreateArrayRept(&AN, 0); /*creates empty array of array of number */
&BOTH = CreateArray(CreateArrayRept("", 0), CreateArrayRept("", 0)); /* creates an empty array of array of string */
