Conditional Array Definitions

In AOL 8.0, I don't see a way to use plain mail.

One can define matrices, when there is an If statement, provided that
different names are used.

Well, okay, I'll find out how to send Plain Text messages from AOL and let
you know how to do it... or maybe someone else here knows how and they will
chime in.

As for the array thing... you mention matrices... is this what you call an
array?  Matrices usually have two dimensions, i.e., an x and y coordinate
system. Arrays in filePro only have one dimension... the number of elements
(and how long each element is).  I suppose this could be thought of as a
matrix of sorts, but, well, it's not strictly accurate. In any case, I never
thought of them that way.  Still, though, your statement that an array (if
an array is a matrix to you) can be defined based on a condition is wrong.
What exactly do you mean?

     if: any codition you can think of, true or fals
   then: declare array[5]

The array called "array" will be active whether the condition, any condition
is true or false. You can not declare the array and its number/size of
elements based on a condition.... so, more explanation please.
