FillChar(Values,SizeOf(Values),0)
That worked.
However, for an integer is fillword better?
A "fillword" procedure does not exist. FillChar is an anchient Pascal
function to simply fill any arbitrary memory location of any size
(determined by a variable) with all the same byte. It is very fast but
there is no type checking at all (you can fill any type of variable) and
I think there is no range checking either. So you should use SizeOf() to
give the number of bytes to be written but in special circumstance you
can also use a different value.
A similar procedure is move, which copies bytes from one memory location
to another (again both determined by variables) also without type and
range checking.
