      [ ROW_MAJOR    ]
      [ COLUMN_MAJOR ] ARRAY   { [ n1: ] n2 } ...
      [              ]

1  –  Parameters

1.1  –  n1

    Specifies the lower bound of the subscript. Replace n1 with a
    signed integer or a value expression that translates to a signed
    integer. The default value is 1.

1.2  –  n2

    Specifies the upper bound of the subscript. Replace n2 with a
    signed integer or a value expression that translates to a signed
    integer. This value is greater than or equal to n1.

2  –  Description

    The ARRAY property defines a single- or multidimensional array in
    a field or record element.

    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.

    If you do not specify either ROW_MAJOR or COLUMN_MAJOR, the
    default is ROW_MAJOR.

3  –  Examples

    1.CDO>  DEFINE FIELD SUPPLIER
      cont>   ARRAY 0:19 1:4
      cont>   DATATYPE IS TEXT
      cont>   SIZE IS 30 CHARACTERS.

      In this example, the DEFINE RECORD command includes an ARRAY
      property that declares 20 instances of the SUPPLIER field
      element (from 0 to 19). Each instance is four 30-character
      strings.

    2.CDO>  DEFINE RECORD SUPPLIER_REC
      cont>   ROW_MAJOR ARRAY 1:20.
      cont> END RECORD.

      In this example, the DEFINE RECORD command includes an ARRAY
      property that creates the SUPPLIER_REC record element as an
      array.

    3.CDO>  CHANGE RECORD SUPPLIER_REC.
      cont>   NOARRAY.
      cont> END RECORD.

      In this example, the CHANGE RECORD command includes a NOARRAY
      property that removes the ARRAY property from the SUPPLIER_REC
      record element.
