An application can perform the following array operations:

• Add rows

• Change the values in all or some of the rows

• Delete all or some of the rows in an array

You can choose from a variety of ways to accomplish these tasks:

• For a discussion of adding rows, see How You Can Add Rows to an Array (see How You Can Add Rows to an Array).

• For a discussion of changing rows, see How You Can Change Values in an Array (see How You Can Change Values in an Array).

• For more information about deleting rows, see How You Can Delete Rows in an Array (see How You Can Delete Rows in an Array).

There are several methods of the ArrayObject class that manipulate arrays (such as inserting, removing, or sorting rows) or provide information (such as the number of rows in the array). For a detailed description of these methods, see How You Can Retrieve Array Information (see How You Can Retrieve Array Information), or see the ArrayObject section of the Language Reference Guide online help.
