Purpose
Function to delete an element from an array
Syntax
ADEL(<array>,<expN>[,2])

Description
The ADEL() function deletes the element at position <expN> of the specified <array>. All elements higher than the deleted element will be shifted down and the last element in the <array> will become .F.. The total number of elements in the <array> will remain the same.
For two-dimensional arrays, the <expN> refers to an entire row of elements, rather than an individual element. If the '2' parameter is included, the <expN> refers to an entire column of elements.
Example
element_no = ascan(flist,"New information") // If element exists if m.element_no > 0 adel(flist,m.element_no) endif // Two-dimensional array Examples: // Row open database southwind use shippers copy to array arr1 ? arr1 // Delete row 2 adel(arr1,2) ? arr1 close data // Results: Array (refcnt=1) ( [1,1] = 1 [1,2] = Speedy Express [1,3] = (503) 555-9831 [2,1] = 2 [2,2] = United Package [2,3] = (503) 555-3199 [3,1] = 3 [3,2] = Federal Shipping [3,3] = (503) 555-9931 ) Array (refcnt=1) ( [1,1] = 1 [1,2] = Speedy Express [1,3] = (503) 555-9831 [2,1] = 3 [2,2] = Federal Shipping [2,3] = (503) 555-9931 [3,1] = False [3,2] = False [3,3] = False ) // Column open database southwind use shippers copy to array arr1 ? arr1 // Delete column 2 adel(arr1,2,2) ? arr1 close data // Results: Array (refcnt=1) ( [1,1] = 1 [1,2] = Speedy Express [1,3] = (503) 555-9831 [2,1] = 2 [2,2] = United Package [2,3] = (503) 555-3199 [3,1] = 3 [3,2] = Federal Shipping [3,3] = (503) 555-9931 ) Array (refcnt=1) ( [1,1] = 1 [1,2] = (503) 555-9831 [1,3] = False [2,1] = 2 [2,2] = (503) 555-3199 [2,3] = False [3,1] = 3 [3,2] = (503) 555-9931 [3,3] = False )
