You miss my point. If you leave off the dimension with the array keyword, the compiler will let you know. If you leave off the dimension without the array keyword, you findout at runtime. I know it is optional, it protects you from yourself.

>Yes, but you missed my point. You still need to put the array dimensions on the line, so again, the ARRAY keyword is not needed, it's totally optional. If you forget the dimensions, well, that's an entirely different problem.
