Optimizing Function
Memory
When a variable is added or deleted, addresses are automatically re-allocated
in the variables’ instance area. Consecutive addresses are required for each
instance, so all of the variables will be allocated to a different block of
addresses if the original block of addresses cannot accommodate the change
in variables. This will result in an unused block of addresses. The following
procedure can be used to eliminate the unused areas in memory so that
memory is used more efficiently.
