Thank you for your response, a little experimentation based on Mr. Heaney's
solution provided the answer. I used a default variant for the array type
declaration, and "re-initialized" the array elements to what I wanted when
the array was instanciated.
Professor Carlisle, I have several "message" structures I receive, each with
1 or more states I need to represent with ascii characters. I wanted to
have a single place where I could look up the ascii characters up based on
the message type and state. There is probably several ways I could have
done this including wrapping the message structure with in a tagged record
and using polymorphism, but I choose the down and dirty, brute force method
(for the time being)
