Array Subscript Error

[jpachut]

Can anyone help me with this error message.

I have no idea what they are talking about...

Here is my error message
[FONT=r_ansi][/FONT]

jpachut,

there are either more than 18 times that [FONT=r_ansi][FONT=r_ansi]ff-time [/FONT][/FONT]gets filled (more than 18 times when '[FONT=r_ansi][FONT=r_ansi][FONT=r_ansi]if substring(ro_wkctr,5,1) <> "0" and (w-ctrnbr > 0 and w-ctrnbr < 8 )
or w-ctrnbr = 9 then' [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]is true) or less than 1 time.
check the incrementation ff-time[x] and just put the if logic in another procedure and use an integer to count how many times it hits on true.
regards,
longhair

check the incrementation ff-time[x] and just put the if logic in another procedure and use an integer to count how many times it hits on true.

It's a compile time error (I think), so the incrementation hasn't happened yet.

The lines you have highlighted are just the first lines of the statements where the error is occurring - see if you have any references to your array variables where the subscript is outside the bounds of the extent within the rest of the statement.

eg. you have defined the array ff_adj_fc to have 8 elements, so make sure you are making no reference to (eg). ff_adj_fc[0] or ff_adj_fc[9], in say, your form statement.

It's definitely a compile-time problem. My guess is something's wrong with 'ro_wkctr' definition. It's absent in your snippet could you post it?

BTW I tried to reproduce your situation and found out that arrays behavior differs between progress versions, e.g. the following code is correct for 10.1 and absolutely incorrect for 9.1

DEFINE VARIABLE r AS CHARACTER  NO-UNDO EXTENT.
r > "".
