To declare an array of 5 x 6 elements, the traditional command is:
dimension MyArray(5, 6)
But better just combine it with the LOCAL declaration:
local MyArray(5, 6)
To access an element:
MyArray(3, 2) = "José"
Note that in Visual FoxPro, all variables, and array elements, are of type "varchar" (as it is called in some other languages), i.e., you can mix types freely.
If you want to have a "struct" in every array element, well, Visual FoxPro doesn't really have the equivalent of a struct. However, you can do much of the same if you use objects. For example, if you have a class called cPerson, with properties for name, date born, etc., here is a quick sample code to create an array of objects based on this class (I only used a single array element in this sample):
set classlib to samples
dimension MyArray(5,5)
MyArray(1,2) = CreateObject("cPerson")
with MyArray(1,2)
.FirstName = "Hilmar"
.LastName = "Zonneveld"
? "Your name is " + .FirstName
endwith
