Elan has only one-dimensional arrays (rows) of a size (<#3882#>cardinality<#3882#>) fixed at compile time. A row can be subscripted to obtain one of its elements (which in its turn may be a row, a structure or a simple value). A multidimensional array can be realized as a row of rows.

The <#3897#>primary<#3897#> must yield a row. The <#3898#>expression<#3898#> must yield an integer, whose value lies between 1 and the <#3899#>cardinality<#3899#> of that row. The type of a <#3900#>subscription<#3900#> is the type of the element yielded. The <#3901#>subscription<#3901#> inherits the access attribute of the <#3902#>primary<#3902#>. This implies that an assignation to a <#3903#>subscription<#3903#> is possible only if the <#3904#>primary<#3904#> is a variable.
