Sam, as I understand it, AB simply does not have arrays that aren't related
to bars. Seems like you come from a background of programming in other
languages (like I do), where arrays can be any size you choose. AB isn't
like that. *Every* array, regardless of your intended use of it, is the size
of the number of loaded bars of the current ticker. You can still use them
for data that doesn't relate to bars at all, but that's still true. I find
it a little disconcerting that an array I want to put 7 arbitrary integers
in is always the size of the current ticker's bar data, no bigger, no
smaller, but that's how it is. One thing to watch out for is subscript out
of range errors if you come to a ticker with no or very little data.

I wish AB had general purpose arrays of arbitrary sizes, but as of now, I
think it doesn't. It's such a wonderful tool that I can forgive it this one
peculiarity easily though (:-).

A side note: I haven't worked with it almost at all, but the Osaka plug-in
provides this capability, along with other useful extensions of the variable
space.

HTH,

Dave
