| Item |
Effect of Erase statement |
|---|---|
| Fixed array |
Its elements are reinitialized. |
| Dynamic array |
LotusScript® removes all elements from storage and recovers the storage. The array retains its type, but has no elements. You must use ReDim to redeclare the array before referring to its elements again. If you used ReDim before it was erased, the array maintains the same number of dimensions. |
| List |
LotusScript® removes all elements from storage and recovers the storage. The list retains its type, but has no elements. |
| List element |
The element no longer exists in the list. |
