level error as

Msg id Sv Number Message

*RNF5318 30 1 Factor 1 entry has a data type that is not allowed for
this
operation; specification is
ignored.
*RNF7260 30 1 The Factor 2 operand is not valid for the

I have a series of validations to do. Lets say, for this discussion,
thet there is a listing of colors: BLU, BLK, YLW, RED, PNK, TRQ, and
GRN. I need to run a subroutine for each color. I would like an array
of these colors, and a FOR loop that looks like this:

for Index = 1 to %elem(Array)
if Array(Index) <> *blanks
exsr Array(Index)
endif
endfor

I am sure that this is impossible however my experience is that when I
am surest is when I am wrongest, so I am asking.
