Resizes a declared dynamic array to a specified number of elements; returns a value of True to indicate a successful resize. An array can be resized to a larger or to a smaller number of elements; any elements added to an array will be assigned the initial value that was specified at array declaration.

Usage

Array_SetMaxIndex(ArrayName,MaxIndex)

Where:

ArrayName - an expression specifying the name of an array to be resized
MaxIndex - a numerical expression specifying the maximum index of the array*

*Array indexes start at 0, and array size is equal to the value of MaxIndex plus one.

Return

True - resize sucessfull

False - resize failed

Example

Resize the dynamic array Array1 to 10 elements by specifying a maximum index value of 9:

Array_SetMaxIndex(Array1,9);

Assign a value that indicates a status of the resize of Array1 to the ResizeReport variable:

ResizeReport=Array_SetMaxIndex(Array1,9);

A value of True will indicate a successful resize, and a value of False will indicate a failed resize.
