hi;
I want to create a package that handles actions upon
a multi dimensional unconstrained array.

It is likely that I've approached this problem from the
wrong direction, but this is where I'm at..

package array_Handler is

type Container_Matrix is array(POSITIVE range <>,
                                            POSITIVE range <>,
                                            POSITIVE range <>) of Boolean;

procedure1 Set_Container_Size(x,y,z:Integer);

                -- this procedure takes in the three axis values for
                -- the array index ranges.
                -- Creates instance of Container_Matrix using parameters
                -- x,y,z.

procedure2 ...etc
procedure3 ...etc

end array_Handler;

PROBLEM: How do I create an instance of type Container_Matrix
that is visible to all procedures in the package.

A single global declaration would be fine if the array sizes were know
in advance!

Any ideas please?

Duncan RD.
