	In the top path of the syntax diagram, "~~num-~~array" is any valid numeric variable array name. The numbers inside the parentheses ("rows" and "columns") are integer constants that indicate the maximum size for each dimension. At least one dimension (corresponding to "rows") is required. Business Rules up to 7 dimensions; thus, "columns" is optional and can be repeated.		In the top path of the syntax diagram, "numeric array" is any valid numeric variable array name.

	In the middle path of the syntax diagram, "string-array" is any string variable array name. The numbers inside the parentheses (e.g., "rows", "columns") are used as for "num-array", explained above.
