	exists	Determines whether a particular array element is valid.
	getTimeOutTimerHandle	Returns the timer handle for the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	handle	Retrieves the handle of the class of the object. (Inherited from Object.)
	lastIndex	Retrieves the highest index that is used to store a value in the array.
	new	Creates an array in which each element has the specified type. (Overrides the new Method.)
	notify	Releases the hold on an object that has called the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)
	notifyAll	Releases a lock on the object that was issued by the wait method on this object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

Arrays can hold values of any single type, such as objects and records (contrary to the array data type that is built into the X++ language). Objects of this type can be transferred to functions and methods. The values are stored sequentially.

The arrays expand as required. Therefore, no specific dimension of the array is supplied.

Examples

The following example creates an array of classes and adds three query objects to the array.

{ 
    Array oarray = new Array (Types::Class); 
 
    oarray.value(1, new query()); 
    oarray.value(2, new query()); 
    oarray.value(4, new query());  
    print oarray.toString(); 
    print oarray.definitionString(); 
    pause; 
}
