Create Empty Array

Activity allows to create an empty single-dimensional array.

Arrays are used to store multiple elements as a single variable. An array is the data structure that stores a fixed number of elements of the same data type. The type of data stored in the array has to be specified beforehand. You cannot change the size or type of an existing array after it has been created. The elements of an array are indexed. An index is a number associated with each array element, starting with index 0 and ending with <array size minus 1>.

Dragging the activity to flowchart opens an input window requiring you to select your array’s data type, followed by activity window itself. You can specify the size of the array (Length parameter) and give a name to the Array there (create a variable, type: Array of [T], e.g. String[] or Int32[], it must match chosen Element Type).

Array elements can be accessed using an index - simply type array name followed by element's index in brackets (name(2) addreses to the third element of the array). You can use length property in conditional expression of the for loop. You can use for each loop to read values of an array elements without using index.

Array	Literal	Output	name of the array
Display Name	Literal	Input	changes display name of the activity
Element Type	Dropdown	Input	select element type from the dropdown list
Exclude from Transaction Check	Boolean	Input	checkbox; default is "off"
Length	Int32	Input	size of the array (number of elements)
Result	Boolean	Output	returns a Boolean value. True if no error in activity, otherwise will return False
Result Code	Int32	Output	Result Code will return 0 if there is no error in activity, otherwise in most cases it will return 1, the extended result code will show only in several chosen activities
