Passing Values in Array

[Bruce Easton]

In addition to what Mike & Jeff suggested, I believe your array will 
have to be mapped to
dummy fields.  So I think the dim merely enables simple instantiation of 
(and later
efficient access to) the global dummy fields that will communicate in 
the usual way
with the other processing tables.  In this way, it's not even necessary 
to name the arrays
the same between the tables - they just have to map against the same 
dummy fields.
