edit

Specify one of the following values in expr to get information about the application's heap memory:

Specify one of the following values in expr to get information about an INDEX$ string array. In this table, indexID represents the ID number (0 through 9) of the array you're interested in. If the specified INDEX$ array has not yet been initialized (using the CLEAR<index> statement), MEM returns zero for all of the items in this table.
