I do prefer the solution from you.
This is just the first 7 lines of a data base that will extend, in the end, to 43 entries. I just used the first 7 to simplify matters.
Then could you explain why I can’t read the contents of the array, an only read back six zeros, please.
The solution from @eightohnine does work but this makes the setup function look very turgid when extended to 43 entries.
