Re: help setting up an array of records

["Marin David Condic" <dont.bother.mcondic.auntie.spam@[acm.org>]

Just guessing from what you are saying, that this appears in the declarative
part of the program. What you've got is an executable statement and it
belongs in the executable part of the program. Try putting it after the
"begin" and see if it gets better. (BTW, there *is* a way to initialize the
array in the declarative part of the program, but you've got to do it with
an aggregate at the point where the object is declared. Try it with the
statement you've got now first & if you want to try it another way, post
here again and maybe we can point you at an appropriate reference.)
