No, the first myArray is an object which is Null if not initialized. In 
the myProcedure it is initialized, but everyone within that module has 
access to it. That is necessary because this array may be needed e. g. 
for inserting data into a tableview.

What I wanted to know is just, may I make ever new ones over and over 
again, or will I run into some buffer problems at some point?
