DECLARE Command
Creates a one- or two-dimensional array.
Note
DECLARE is identical in operation and similar in syntax to the DIMENSION command. For more information, see DIMENSION Command.
DECLARE ArrayName1 (nRows1 [, nColumns1])
[, ArrayName2 (nRows2 [, nColumns2])] ...
Remarks
You can use either brackets or parentheses to enclose the expressions in DECLARE. For example, the following two commands create identical arrays:
DIMENSION gaArrayOne(10), gaArrayTwo[2,4], gaArrayThree(3,3)
DIMENSION gaArrayOne[10], gaArrayTwo(2,4), gaArrayThree[3,3]
When the size of an array is increased or decreased when SET COMPATIBLE is set to ON or DB4, the value of each element in the array is reinitialized to .F.
Note
Visual FoxPro arrays are one-based - the first element, row, or column of an array is specified with the number 1. (Arrays in other programming languages may be zero-based; the first element, row, or column of an array is specified with the number 0.)
