Arrays in sort/select processing

[Ken Cole]

Rodgers,

Is that really a "." in front of the "g" when defining variable "y"?
Also the definition must be on the LHS of the "=".
Also I think the "," after  ="b" 2nd last line should be a ";"

I have seen things like that cause "funny" errors before.

Even after fixing the errors above I got the same rror until I moved
the dim statement to the top of the processing table and then it
tokenised.

What OS?
What version of filePro?
