Dimensioned Arrays

[smittyusn1 at bellsouth.net]

Let me see if I can explain this better.

Cust x  has a 15 items max Invoice with a dimensioned array of  10 
associated fields that do the code lookup, price, ext, tax, etc.  That works 
good,  now he wants to add a LIST price for each item + Extended List with a 
total.

When he Escapes to save his invoice I would like to gosub to a new 
Dimensioned Array (b0-b9) of 15 possible items, find the code  in his 
inventory grab the list price, extend it and return.   When I try that now 
all I get is the first code + list price.

I'm not sure what this has to do with arrays, an mentioned in the subject,
since you never refer to arrays in the body of the message.  (Except for a
strange reference to "the array b0".)

The A group and the B group are not related.  If, for example, you have
something in @WEFA1 processing, when you refer to anything A0 through A9,
you refer to the same instance.  However, if you refer to anything in B0 and
B1, you will only get the first instance.
