<exp>

An expression of character, date, logical, or numeric data type to insert in the specified array.

<start expN>

The element number at which to begin inserting <exp>. If you do not specify <start expN>, dBASE Plus begins at the first element in the array.

<count expN>

The number of elements in which to insert <exp>, starting at element <start expN>. If you do not specify <count expN>, dBASE Plus inserts <exp> from <start expN> to the last element in the array. If you want to specify a value for <count expN>, you must also specify a value for <start expN>.

If you do not specify <start expN> or <count expN>, dBASE Plus fills all elements in the array with <exp>.
