OK, I will ask the silly question.  How long have we been able to map an
array to an associated field group? Which version?

As far as I know, at least from version 3.0.  However is there is a caveat
for this answer, the associated fields need to be contiguous. 

Fields 10-20 d1)


This was changed in 5.6 where there associated fields do not know have to be
contiguous.

Fields 10-20 d1)
Fields 50-60 d1)

I am sure Ken or someone else will correct me if I am wrong.

However

I just tried it in 4.8.12R4 and got a syntax error.

I tried both:

dim test[3]:B1

and

dim test[3]:B1)

The file does have 3 B1) fields defined at fields 20, 30 and 40.

I also note this isn't mentioned in the STN book.  I haven't checked Laura's
QRG yet.

Cheers

Ken
