If you have a field called lnElement in the active table, and it has a value greater than 6, you will get this error. I strongly advise you to alter this routine so that it uses LPARAMETERS. It should receive the array as a parameter too. It should declare pcTheData LOCAL or not even use pcTheData at all. I'd write it this way.

getArrayElement.prg
LPARAMETERS lnElement,taArray
EXTERNAL ARRAY taArray && prevents compiler error.
RETURN taArray[m.lnElement]

and I'd call it like this

?GetArrayElement(5,@laWarnLbl)
