SUBS Function

Subtracts the elements in one dynamic array from those in another.

Syntax

SUBS(dynArray1, dynArray2)

Syntax Elements

dynArray1, dynArray2
DataBasic expressions that evaluate to dynamic arrays.

Return Value

A dynamic array formed by combining dynArray1 and dynArray2. Each element contains the result of subtracting the element in dynArray1 from the corresponding element in dynArray2.

Notes

Missing or null elements in the original arrays are treated as 0.
Non-numeric elements are treated as 0 and a run-time error is generated (see Strings in Arithmetic Expressions).

Example

ARY1 = 5:@AM:27

ARY2 = 2:@AM:3:@AM:64

NEWARY = SUBS(ARY1, ARY2)

Sets NEWARY to "3AM24AM-64". Because there are only two elements in ARY, the third element (64) in ARY2 is subtracted from 0.
