Greeting Palemos here. Completly new to DBPro...I have some VB and PB background. I was doing some testing on arrays and found this: See Source.

Does the compiler not check for out of range arrays? Who can tell me what this INT of 11472504 is? No matter how I define the out of range array (5,2) or (3,9) I get this INT.

Thanks

Hi Palemos, what it means is you are trying to call, ie, use the array in a position that is above the number of elements you have allowed.

for
dim t(5)

you only have 5 positions/elements, actually you have six because in
arrays you can also use the 0 position.

you could go

for x= 1 to 5
t(x)=5
next x

the t is for the name of your array and the x in brackets is for the element in the array. the way it works is that the x in brackets is the same x as in the for to loop, so that is going from 1 to 5. in the end each of the elements in your array will equal 5
