That approach is FANTASTIC if
- lots of data are in the array
- the array perhaps is used to marshall data to a function or COM server
- the array is fed cursor data.

Had something similar built in mid nineties when running headfirst into a program
done by a FORTRAN user coding a data update in FPW with HEAVY array usage...

Nobody wanted to touch that code, as debug was nearly impossible -
with the browsing of the arrays I made sense of it and
found one of the very few differences when code running
under FPW resulted in different tables when run under vfp -
had to do with declaring arrays as private,
passing them by reference but tweaking into them under different names.

Funny thing was that iterating over colums to create special "header fields"
for each row of stingified colums was done on Array rows, not cursor rows
to fence and nail the culprit code parts down ...

And you know Sergey - he will polish the code and create a download
where I will be glad to have found the bug, leave my approach
to code archeologists to curse me later

fun times
