RE: Arrays

["Richard B Baird" <rbaird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

If this is the case, what would be the point of ever using a mult occur
data structure ever again?

it would seem that doing it this way is a lot more flexible than a MODS.
Can you think of any instances where a MODS would be more appropriate?

thanks,

rick

Rick,

Yes, you can access each overlay field as an array (with subscripting).
Better yet, SORTA Array2 will sort the contents on $CTData in Array2 order.
That means you can sort a datastructure dynamically on any subfield.
Pretty
nifty for Subfile displays.  Oh, make sure to add an "INZ(*All'9')" and
"Ascend" to $CTData (base array) if you intend to have a varying number of
rows in the data-set.  That keeps unused records in the array at the end
(and out of the way) after you SORTA.
