Declaring an Array

[csr]

I have a report which makes use of an array called ...
aLabels.

The first place I mention this array is in a CONTINUE button on a form which leads to that report.

This is the code in the CLICK method of that CONTINUE button.

dimension aLabels[20,5]
for j = 1 to 20
for k = 1 to 5
aLabels[j,k] = ''
endfor
endfor


Everything works just fine. However, each time I generate the EXE I get the warning: UNABLE TO FIND UNKNOWN aLabels .... at which time I simply IGNORE and everything is fine.

I know I should declare this array as EXTERNAL somewhere.

Where should I do that and what would be the SYNTAX for this ?

Thanks.

You would declare the EXTERNAL in the same function that contains the REPORT FORM statement that uses the array. But I have a similar situation, and I just declare the array as PRIVATE and ignore the error.

Well, that is basically what I have done.

I call the report in this same code ...


dimension aLabels[20,5]
for j = 1 to 20
for k = 1 to 5
aLabels[j,k] = ''
endfor
endfor


* some processing and then ...

report form xxxx to print prompt noconsole

================================================

So, you are saying that I should include my EXTERNAL statement at the top of this code ?

Don,
In the report's data environment, try adding the EXTERNAL ARRY statement to say the Init() method.

Thanks to all who contributed ...

The solution was to replace the DIMENSION keyword with PUBLIC ARRAY as in ...

public array aLabels[20,5] and the problem was solved.

Simple.
