 A_MIN()
 Return the smallest value found in a given range of an array
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Syntax

    A_MIN( <aTarget>, [<idxPos>], [<nCount>] )

 Arguments

    <aTarget> is the numeric type array to evaluate.

    <idxPos> is the position in the target array of the first element
    to be evaluated.  If not specified, A_MIN() begins its search on
    the first element in the array.

    <nCount> is the number of elements to evaluate. The default is all
    elements starting at <idxPos> until the end of the array.

 Returns

    A_MIN() returns an index to the element which has the minimum
    value found in the specified range.

 Description

    A_MIN() evaluates every element in the specified range of a
    numeric type array and returns an index to that element which has
    the lowest value.


 Examples

    // Declare a two dimensional (UI)nteger array
    LOCAL rows, cols, x

    rows = 10
    cols = 20
    auInteger = A_DECLARE( "UI", rows, cols )

    // Fill the second row of the array with increasing
    // integer values 1 - 20
    FOR x = 1 to 20
       A_STORE( auInteger, x, A_( 2, x ) )
    NEXT

    // Fetch the minimum value in the first half of the
    // second row.
    ? A_MIN( auInteger, A_( 2, 1 ), cols / 2 )   // Result: 1
