REDIM takes more resources than DIM?

[bplus]

May also be an issue with having to reset array values to 0.

TYPE foo
   x AS STRING 
   y AS LONG
END TYPE

REDIM whatever(1000) AS foo

I seem to remember that the above doesn't always initialize arrays to 0, so you may need to do so manually for that, leading to extra run time and such.

This was a bug that will be fixed in the next release.

I seem to recall it being fixed once at least for number in UDT's but varaible length strings messed things up.

@Luke didn't you once say, I forget which forum, it doesn't matter if DIM everything or REDIM everything.
Because from that I experimented with REDIM for everything, no problems! (until the extra 2 characters became tiresome and REDIM looked odd for plain variables).
