You can set the entire array to a single value with:

array_name = ""

If you mean to release the entire array from being defined:

RELEASE array_name

Hi Sam,

I assume you want to keep the array and just remove all elements form it. If
that is the case then you may want to resize it.

DECLARE aMyArray[1]
aMyArray[1]=.F.

You can't remove all of the elements. You can resize it to the smallest
possible size by:

DIMENSION ax[1]

and you can set all elements of the array to a fixed value by:

ax = <some value>

That won't help with the original question, which was how to remove all
elements from an array since ADEL doesn't redimension the array.
