According to the Delphi 7 help file: "Finalize procedure"
If a dynamic variable meets the following two conditions, a call to Finalize is required to finalize the variable before it can be deallocated. 1) The variable is deallocated by other means than the Dispose standard procedure (for example using FreeMem). 2) The variable contains long strings, variants, or interfaces, not all of which are empty or Unassigned. My comment is based on #2. --- Rob Kennedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jonathan Mora wrote: > > A call to finalize is necessary since the dynamic > > array contains long strings. > > Wrong. > > The automatic finalization of dynamic arrays is > recursive.
