Issue/Introduction

when addressing an array using a script variable within an :BEGINREAD .. :ENDREAD block, one of the above mentioned errors occurs when the script variable is set to the max size of the array right before the :ENDREAD command.

Use the following script for reproduction (uncomment the version which you want to test):

 

! ###### Version 1 - using a loop ==> error U00020364 Runtime error in object 'xxxx', line 'xxx'. Array index out of bounds.
!:DEFINE &key#,string,3
!
!:SET &i# = 1
!:BEGINREAD
!:  WHILE &i# <= 2
!:    P "i= &i#"
!:    READ &key#[&i#],'00',"Enter Value &i#","V &i#",'K'
!:    SET &i# = ADD(&i#,1)
!:  ENDWHILE
!:  P "i= &i#"
!:  READ &key#[&i#],'00',"Enter Value &i#","V &i#",'K'
!:ENDREAD
