Description

The AFILL() function fills the elements of a previously declared <array> with the specified <exp>. The starting element I the array can be specified with <expN1> and the number of elements to fill with <expN2>. If <expN1> is not specified, the fill starts from the first element. If <expN2> is not specified, the fill will continue to the last element. The AFILL() function returns .T. if successful and .F. otherwise. All array elements can also be assigned a value using the = operator.

Example

declare matrix[100]
afill(matrix,"good",51,100)
? matrix[45]
.F.
? matrix[75]
good
? afill(matrix,"bad",1,50)
.T.
? matrix[45]
bad
