FILL (array)

The FILL command allows you to fill an array with a specific value (if omitted, it will be 0). You can use the instruction RANDOM to fill the array with random values. You can specify the maximum value (minus one) to use to generate a random number using the MAX keyword. You can limit the number of random values using the COUNT keyword. Finally, you can fill the array with an increment value, related to the index, by using the INCREMENTAL keyword.
