>I periodically use arrays within reports for added flexibility. These arrays are generally declared private in the source that runs the report. When I compile I get a compilation error stating that the array is not defined. This doesn't affect the runtime app, but does annoy me to see errors during compilation. Several years ago I talked to Drew Speedy at DevCon '96 about this and he gave me an answer that worked, but for the life of me I cannot remember how this was done.

I don't know what Drew said, but this will work:

1. At the bottom of your MAIN.PRG, create a procedure called DUMMY
2. Define each array like: PUBLIC MyArray[1]
3. You *never* call this procedure, so it doesn't affect runtime. It's sole purpose in life is to get the compiler to shut up.
