1 ARRAY The ARRAY field attribute clause declares multidimensional arrays or one-dimensional arrays. ARRAY is most useful when the subscript's lower bound is not equal to 1. 2 Usage Notes o With ARRAY, each subscript has an upper and lower bound defined by a pair of signed integers. o In multidimensional arrays, ROW_MAJOR declares the rightmost subscript to be the fastest varying. COLUMN_MAJOR declares the leftmost subscript to be the fastest varying. o If neither ROW_MAJOR nor COLUMN_MAJOR is specified, the default is ROW_MAJOR. 2 Example In the following example, the ARRAY clause declares 20 instances of SUPPLIER (from 0 to 19) where each instance is four 30-character strings. SUPPLIER ARRAY 0:19 1:4 DATATYPE IS TEXT SIZE IS 30 CHARACTERS.
