Reinitializes the elements of fixed-size arrays and deallocates dynamic-array storage space.
Erase array
The array argument is the name of the array variable to be erased.
It is important to know whether an array is fixed-size (ordinary) or dynamic because Erase behaves differently depending on the type of array. Erase recovers no memory for fixed-size arrays. Erase sets the elements of a fixed array as follows:
| Type of array | Effect of Erase on fixed-array elements |
|---|---|
| Fixed number array | Sets each element to zero. |
| Fixed string array | Sets each element to sero-length ("") |
| Array of objects | Sets each element to the special value Nothing. |
Erase frees the memory used by dynamic arrays. Before your program can refer to the dynamic array again, it must redeclare the array variable's dimensions using a ReDim statement.
