 About all I can say, Bob (beside, "Thanks!") is that TradeLab can't get
 here fast enough.  Omega's lack of Quality Control borders on the
 amazing.  You're quite right, it couldn't have been tested.
 
 Stay tuned to hear The Omega Doctor explain: It's not a Bug, it's a
 Feature...allows users to pre-mix Input Data and still come out with the
 correct results :-)

According to what I saw, it's a bug if N>2.

But the multidimentional TS arrays are not officially documented, and the TS
KIT DLL functions have never been updated to accesss to these arrays (you can
[coud, if not bugged]  however go up to N=10 dimensions).
Means that if its no documented, its not (yet ) recommended for use.
It's a bug in absolute and in any case not a feature.

I tried several things (code below), and the indexation error  appears, never
on dimension1, but on 2 and 3 (classified on the print log with this code,
that shows the logic of the error), even with string arrays and even with
removing the start /end of each dimension.

{============Start ==============}

Array: Monica[7,7,7]("");
{Array: Monica[7,7,7](0) For  3D numeric array testing}

vars:j(0),k(0),m(0);

if barnumber=1 then
for j=1 to 6 begin
	for k=1 to 6 begin
		for m=1 to 6 begin
			{Monica[j,k,m]=StrToNum(NumToStr(j,0)+NumToStr(k,0)+NumToStr(m,0)); For
numeric array }
			Monica[j,k,m]=NumToStr(j,0)+NumToStr(k,0)+NumToStr(m,0);
		end;
	end;
end;

if lastbaronchart then
for j=1 to 6 begin
	for k=1 to 6 begin
		for m=1 to 6 begin
			{print(Monica[j,k,m]:1:0,"
",StrToNum(NumToStr(j,0)+NumToStr(k,0)+NumToStr(m,0)):1:0); For numeric array
}
			print(Monica[j,k,m],"    ",NumToStr(j,0)+NumToStr(k,0)+NumToStr(m,0));
		end;
	end;
end;

{false plot condition:}
if Monica(0,0,0) ="A bug in an undocumented function is not a true bug" then
Plot1(Value1, "");
{if Monica(0,0,0) =69 then Plot1(0, "");For numeric array }

{============END of code==============}

I also eagerly wait the TradeLab official release to laugh as loud as I could,
when you will discover bugs of this kind that are mandatory in any software,
even carefully developed by a very famous programmer.

Not to speak of the bugs that you will build by yourself (VB+ TradeLab+ UMDS
Server3 NOT yet ready will also certainly help).

Easy...

And now, Sir, bent over please.
It's Valium time.
