Could someone explain why the following does not find an element?
LOCAL ARRAY aTest[6,2]
aTest[1,1] = "abc"
aTest[1,2] = "123"
aTest[2,1] = "abc"
aTest[2,2] = "XXX"
aTest[3,1] = "abc"
aTest[3,2] = "123"
aTest[4,1] = "abc"
aTest[4,2] = "XXX"
aTest[5,1] = "abc"
aTest[5,2] = "1233X"
aTest[6,1] = "abc"
aTest[6,2] = "XXX"
nEle = ASCAN( aTest, "XXX", 9, -1, 2, 0 )
WAIT WINDOW " found XXX in elem " + ALLTRIM(STR( nEle ))
I thought that above expression should look for value "XXX" in the second column of two-dimensional array, starting with element 9. I thought it would find the element aTest[6,2] but it does not.
What am I missing?
