He means how to check if he tries to write datas to an array which is out of range. for eg:

dim Test.s(1000)

test.s(1001)="bla"


One way is to check your field-value before you write to your array.

eg:

#namearray=50

dim name.s(#namearray)

position=30
if position<=#namearray
name.s(position)="blabla"
endif

The Debugger of PureBasic does not report if you try to write datas in a "Dimension out of range", which is standard in every other basic language. Fred!?

But indeed, the best way is to use linked lists.
