Actualy more like your example is trying to gosub to a value in the array, which is impossible.

If I understand you correctly, you would like something like:

On <value> Gosub <label 1>,<label 2>,...,...

Which is common in most BASIC languages, alas, DB can't do this.

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.

I have no idea if this is anything like what you need.
