Warning: The variable passed to the 'Initialise array' function must be an array variable

Description

This warning is displayed in the list of errors and warnings at the bottom of the procedure editor when the procedure uses the Initialise array statement, but the variable used is not an array variable.

More information

If the variable used by the statement is not an array variable, then its contents cannot be initialised using a list of values. If this warning is ignored, then when the procedure encounters this statement while it is running, it simply won't do anything and will move on to the next statement in the procedure.

To set a variable up as an array variable, click the button on the variable within the procedure itself, or on the Variables tab. When the Variable settings window opens, select the This variable is an array of ... values option, and enter the number of values that there should be in the array.
