Pierrick,

The sCalcout record has a very limited ability to do this.  It can
hold 12 strings of 39 or fewer characters, and provides a calc expression
for selecting one of the strings with an index number.

The aSub record can also be coerced into implementing something like a string
array. It could hold 19 strings of arbitrary length, with fields left for an
index and an output string.  The aSub record could also be used to implement
a very large array of fixed-length strings, with a character buffer, an index,
and input/output character fields.

Hi,
Is there any record type that can contain an array of strings?
Thanks,
Pierrick
