FILL - Fill STRING or ARRAY elements

FILL(variable, value-expression) NEW! (V2.0)

Fill all elements of an array or string with the same value.

If <variable> is a string, <value-expression> is evaluated as CHAR, the length of the string is set to the maximum length of the string.

For filling with zero, the CLR procedure may be preferred.

VAR
TheVal: INTEGER;
TheIntBuf: ARRAY[1..5] OF INTEGER;
TheRealBuf: ARRAY[1..4] OF REAL;
TheStr: STRING[5];
…
// Fill all the array with -12345
TheVal := -12350;
FILL(TheIntBuf, TheVal - 5);
// Fill all the array with -123.45
FILL(TheRealBuf, (TheVal - 5) / 100.0);
// Fill the string with 5 dashes
FILL(TheStr, '-');
