Thanks Dave. That seemed to work for part of it, but I am getting an error
if I am trying to assign a value to the variable within the loop; i.e.
assign a value using this type of variable. /* This CLIST demonstrates how
to create an array. */
/**********************************************************************/
SET &COUNT = 1
DO WHILE &COUNT < 4
SET &&COLOR&COUNT = &COUNT
SET &TEMP = &&COLOR&COUNT
WRITE &TEMP
SET &COUNT = &COUNT + 1
END
Nick,
In the CLIST above, no value has been set for &COLOR so the variable
resolves to null. &COUNT has an initial value of 1, so the entire thing
resolves to the following:
SET &1 = 1
Variables cannot have numeric names; e.g. &1 is not a valid name for a
variable. This is why the CLIST is displaying an error message. To fix the
problem, simply assign a value to &COLOR.
Hope that helps,
Dave Salt
