	This statement tells Business Rules! to reserve space for twelve values in both the SPTEMP and NYTEMP “manila folders”. Business Rules! automatically assigns a value of 0 to each element in the array until you explicitly assign another.

Business Rules! automatically assigns a value of 0 to each element in the array until you explicitly assign another.
	DIM is a non-executable statement; it can be placed anywhere in a program. This is because Business Rules! automatically checks an entire program for DIM statements before every program execution. Many programmers like to place all their DIM statements either at the beginning or end of a program for easy reference.		DIM is a non-executable statement; it can be placed anywhere in a program.

	St. Paul’s January temperature would then become SPTEMP(1) because it is the ~~tenth~~ value in the SPTEMP array. Likewise, New York’s June temperature would be NYTEMP(6). The position number is called a subscript, and it is always placed in parentheses after the variable name.
