DeleteArray deletes (clears) a pointer arrays redirection pointer. It does NOT delete (undim) the data to which it pointed to, just the pointer.
FACTS:
* DeleteArray Does not UnDim the memory, just clears this Arrays pointer.
Mini Tutorial :
This example shows how DeleteArray only deletes a pointer arrays, pointer to another array, and not the array data that it pointer to.
; Dimension an array called Table()
Dim Table(100)
; Delcare a Pointer Array called PointerArray()
MakeArray PointerArray()
; Set PointerArray() to point at the Table()'s data
SetArray PointerArray(),GetArray(table())
; Check if the pointer array is valid
If GetArrayStatus(PointerArray())=false
Print "PointerArray() does not exist"
Else
; If so, then Display the size of the array the
; pointer array points to.. Since it's pointing
; at the Table() array, Then it's current size
; will be that.
Print GetArrayElements(PointerArray(),1)
EndIf
; Clear PointerArray()'s Array Index Pointer
DeleteArray PointerArray()
; Check if PointerArray() is still valid
If GetArrayStatus(PointerArray())=false
; Since PointerArray() was deleted, it
; will display this message.
Print "PointerArray() does not exist"
Else
Print GetArrayElements(PointerArray(),1)
EndIf
; Display the TABLE() size, to show the actual
; array wasn't deleted, just PointerArray()'s
; pointer to that array.
Print GetArrayElements(Table(),1)

This example would output something like the following.
