strong typed arrays in VO dialect

Hello,
currently I'm working mostly in VO dialect, and I don't think this will change the next years.
But when working with legacy code, it would be very welcome to use strong typed arrays. Is there any possibility to make them available, even as different datatype, in the VO dialect?

Wolfgang,
What exactly do you mean with "Strong typed arrays".
I think we already support them.
For example
local aString as STRING[]

Hi Robert,
no, I mean this form:
In the Core dialect it compiles, in the VO dialect the compiler says
Code: Select all
error XS9007: Feature 'ARRAY OF <type>' is not available in the selected dialect VO

Wolfgang,
Mmmm, strange. Does it work in the Vulcan dialect ?

I guess you are using the Vulcan runtime.
In that case the error message us misleading.
This needs the X# runtime.
If you are using the x# runtime then this is a bug.

Hi Robert,
stupid me!
Of course, your guessing was right.
I'm very sorry!
