Item	Effect of Erase statement
Fixed array	Its elements are reinitialized.
Dynamic array	LotusScript removes all elements from storage and recovers the storage. The array retains its type, but has no elements. You must use ReDim to redeclare the array before referring to its elements again. If you used ReDim before it was erased, the array maintains the same number of dimensions.
List	LotusScript removes all elements from storage and recovers the storage. The list retains its type, but has no elements.
List element	The element no longer exists in the list.
