Numeric arrays are not supposed to accept strings, for the code that accesses their values is different from a string itself. However, there are also string arrays that you can use, as in;

dim a$(5)

a$(1) = "Hello,"
a$(2) = "my"
a$(3) = "name"
a$(4) = "is"
A$(5) = "Grok."

You simply cannot mix the two types in DBC, numeric arrays must contain numbers and string one must contain strings.

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.
