Destroy an Array from Memory

Question

How do I destroy an array after I have used it? My program works great the first time I use it. The second time I use it, everything gets laggy.

Initializing the array like this:

local array MyFiles[1,5]
nFilesFound = ADIR( MyFiles, qazMSG + '*.*')

Answer 1

This will remove a variable (including an array) from memory:

RELEASE varname

Answer 2

It's unlikely that the array already existing is causing a slowdown. More to the point, since you declare the array local, it's released automatically when the routine ends. So your speed problem is something else.
