Hi,
I was wondering how to include arrays in a user defined data type. I get an error compiling. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

TYPE mytype

dim whatever(6,2) as integer
ENDTYPE

Error is "Cannot declare an array within type"

Your problem lies in how you are turning the array into a UDT (User Defined Type). Observe...
Type mytype
var1 AS INTEGER
var2 AS INTEGER
endtype
dim whatever(6,2) AS mytype

The type, endtype, and everything in between the two commands define the UDT. After the type is defined, you then prolcaim any variable or array you want to use this UDT with an AS and the name of the UDT. A least, that's how I see it, you'd proboly want to ask someone with more than two months of experiance for a REAL good explanation.

I don't want an array of my UDT; I want an array of integers as one component of my UDT as shown in my code.

TYPE mytype
var1 as integer
var2 as integer
dim var3(6,2) as integer
ENDTYPE

That's something that DBPro can't do yet.

Wow, thats quite a hindrance to writing well structured code. Is there a workaround?

If not, when will this feature be available?
