Subject: DIM Question



I have dimensioned an array in automatic processing, when I try to use the array
in input I get a compilation error.  I then have to dimension the array in input
processing.

 

Example: automatic --> dim qty(10)(10,,2,g)

 

Shouldn't the array be recognized in input processing if it is defined in
automatic processing?

NO!

 

Arrays exist only in the processing table where it is created.

 

You can not pass array values to another array in another table

 

You can not set an array equal to another array within the same table (without
programming i.e. read element value from one array to the other.)

 

If you need to pass values between tables and depending on the type of data, you
could combine all of the data in one declared global or a dummy field defined in
auto processing, then hash the values in the other processing table.
