Subject: Data Arrays

This is another of those "new to RPG" questions that wasn't covered in the
basic RPG course.

I've been searching manuals trying to find the RPG equivalent to the
following Cobol code.

01      INDEX   BINARY.
01      ARRAY.
        05      ROWS OCCURS 10 TIMES.
                10      ELEMENT1                PIC X(20).
                10      ELEMENT2                PIC S9(5)V9(5) COMP.
                ETC.

MOVE 9 TO INDEX.
MOVE 'Wish I could do this" TO ROWS(INDEX).

I don't care so much about the data type definitions (I can handle that) more
about how to do it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
