reusing arrays in 4.0.5

[ces at cescom.com]

Good morning,

 

I wonder if this can be done. Any help appreciated.

 

I create an array as such: dim bom(8):item(3), where item is the lookup
alias. Later on I want to repopulate the same array based on another lookup
to the same file using bom(8):newname(8), where newname is the original
lookup file (or alias I guess). This generates an error that bom is already
in use. Same thing happens if I use "item(3)".

 

set bom,newname(3) does not generate an error, but it seems to populate the
lookup file with current values in bom (in this case empty), instead of
filling the array bom with the values from newname. Is there anyway to reuse
bom and repopulate bom with new values?

 

Thanks

 

 

Regards
