Alias

addElement(arrayName, elem)

Parameter name	Type	Required	Description
arrayName	array	Yes	Array the new element is added to.
elem	any	Yes	Element to be added. Must be the same type as the array type.

Return Type

array

Example

Example 1

watchers2 = addElement(watchers, currentUser());

The result returned by the routine is assigned to a new array watchers2, so the initial array watchers will not be modified.

Example 2

watchers = addElement(watchers, currentUser());

The result returned by the routine is assigned to the same array watchers, so the initial array watchers will be modified.

Note

If elem is not the same type as declared in the array definition, the routine returns error.

SIL Engine™ 2.5 specific

Starting with version 2.5 is easier for you to just use the '+' operator to add elements to an array. array = array + element it is a simple and more meaningful way to express it. array += element is even better.
