Best way to convert Clipper nested arrays to VFP
I've been working on converting a system from Clipper to VFP. The Clipper version uses nested arrays _everywhere_ !!
Since VFP does not support nested arrays, I need to use another sensible approach. I know that I can point a null array element to a seperate array object, but this does not support the way the arrays are used in the system.
Here are some sample lines of Clipper code which I must convert. Parenthises are actually the curly brackets, but I can't post those in a message.
DECLARE aArrayName = () <-VFP does not allow arrays with 0 elements
aArrayName = (element1, element2, (element3_1, element3_2)) <-sub-array
Aadd( aArrayName, (element1, element2, (element3_1, element3_2)) <-adding elements to an array (and the sub-array)
TIA
Larry
