Subject:      array initialization

I would like to initialize each element of an array of arbitrary size to
0.  I would like to be efficient and avoid the following:
 
1.  Write out a 0 for each element, (0, 0, 0, ... , 0), since the size of
the array will be large (several hundred) and varying between runs.
 
2. Write a do loop and explicitly set each element to 0 since the data
files may be containg several million records.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks
