The AINS() function inserts an element into the <array> at the position of <expN>. The element will be defined as .F. unless an optional <exp> is included. All elements higher than the inserted element are shifted up and the contents of the last element are overwritten. The total number of elements in the array remains the same. The array must have been previously declared.

Example

declare table[10]
ains(table, 3, "hello world")
// Another Example
declare flist[5]
...
if ascan(flist, "new information") = 0
    ains(flist,1,"new information")
endif
