I have an elementary question about initializing a table. Because of staff turnover, there are no experienced programmers here who can answer this.

I have a code example which sets a counter and initializes each table element until all have been initialized. Is it possible just to issue an initialize on the whole table? We do that in RPG.

Thanks,
