array limits

[Keith F Weatherhead]

Since I have not necessarily populated every element I'm not sure 
but I routinely define (9999)(120,*) arrays and never have had a 
problem.  I believe it is memory dependant.  I have NEVER seen a 
limit on the quantity of arrays and have many tables with 30 to 50 
arrays in them, although only 2 or 3 may have a defination like above.

I have no idea what kind of overhead mapping against a lookup 
incurres BUT I almost always have an array mapped against MANY of my 
lookups thru field (999) so I never have to adjust them when I add 
fields...  This may be very minimal compared to arrays as in the 1st 
paragraph above.
