Declaring a public array

I am trying to declare a public array, and assign values to the elements. I want to do the assigning in the same piece of code where I declare all the other Public Const values. But it doesn’t work which defeats the purpose, since I am going in the end to put this all into an lss file.

So, I declare in Declarations…

Public atype(9) as String

but I can’t go on to say

atype(0)=“a value”.

Any ideas please.

Subject: No code in declarations section

You cannot write code in the declaration section.You need to initialise the array in an event; for example the query open event of a form or the initialize event of the script library

Or define a class. The array would be a property of the class. The array is initialized in the constructor

Follow the singleton pattern if you need only a single instance of the class
