PowerBuilder Array Enhancements

PowerBuilder 12 introduces several array enhancements to the PowerScript language in support of its evolution as a CLS-compliant language.

These enhancements are available in all PowerBuilder .NET targets and in the .NET targets of PowerBuilder Classic.

• Runtime Array Bounds
  For PowerBuilder .NET targets, the PowerScript language allows you to declare an unbounded array at design time, and to dynamically create the array bounds at runtime.
• Returning an Array for a Function or Event
  PowerBuilder .NET allows you to return an array datatype from a function or event.
• Jagged Array Support
  For PowerBuilder .NET targets, the PowerScript array syntax allows you to declare jagged arrays, which have elements of differing dimensions and sizes, and are sometimes called "arrays of arrays."
• .NET System.Array Support
  PowerScript arrays include all the functionality of the .NET System.Array type.
