Or what do you think about that....

D #array    4    dim(3) inz('Val1', 'Val2', 'Val3')

This also would be useful for numeric arrays:

D #array    5i 0    dim(3) inz(21, 22, 23)

or like that:

D #array        dim(3) const(21, 22, 23)


I ask me some times why IBM and RPG is normaly about one or two years behind
other languages.
