ARY_RESET
-
Reset an array to an undefined state
- Description:
-
The routine resets an array so that its values become undefined.
Its use is advisable before making format changes to an array if
retention of the existing values is not required (e.g. before
changing its data type with the ARY_STYPE routine); this will
avoid the cost of converting the existing values.
- Invocation:
-
CALL ARY_RESET( IARY, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
-
IARY = INTEGER (Given)
-
Array identifier.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
-
-
This routine may only be used to reset the state of a base
array. If an array section is supplied, then it will return
without action. No error will result.
-
An array cannot be reset while it is mapped for access. This
routine will fail if this is the case.
