12Me21Created:
A function to resize any type of 1 dimensional array:

Example usage: 
DIM A[10]
?LEN(A)

RESIZE A,3

COPY A,NEW
A = NEW
OR SOMETHING SIMILIAR

Yes, but the point is to do it without having to create a new array. For your solution to work, you'd need to do: 
DEF RESIZE(A,S)
 DIM NEW[S]
 COPY NEW,A,S
 RETURN A
END

DIM TEST[10]
TEST=RESIZE(TEST,3)
(Plus you'd need separate functions for int/float/string arrays) Which works fine (and is probably faster) in many situations, but, for example, in a function that modifies arrays in-place, it won't work.
