Define AR1 as an array of 99 elements (that would seem like plenty).

   C              Eval       AR1(Age) = Ar1(Age) + 1
   C              If         *InLR
   C              Eval       Age = 1
   C              Do         99
   C              If         AR1(age) > 0
   C              Exsr       WriteLineSR
   C              Eval       Age = Age +1
   C              EndIf
   C              XFoot      AR1
   C              Exsr       WriteTotalSR
   C              EndDo
   C              EndIf

Okay, for some reason I can't remember how to do this. I need to count the
number of people for each age that work within the company (for
demographics
stuff). The problem is that I forgot how to deal with multiple arrays.

The way I am doing this (...and I am open to better ways) is to create a
multi-column array that holds the age and the count. When I process an
employee, I will lookup to see if the age is in the array. If it is, I add
1
to my counter. If not, I add the age in to my array. But, I would like it
in
numeric order so when I go to print it out, it is in age order.

I guess what I would like to know what the best approach to this would be.
I
haven't dealt with arrays for a while again. Is my idea a good approach
for
this? How do I create a 2-column array? Example:

Ages             AgeCount
21               5
35               6
18               1
20               10
45               50

Thanks for any help given....
