Hi Lewis,

I have found that if a subArray record reads 0 elements into its array, it sets its INDX field to 0. Is this behavior intended? I would rather it not change its INDX field in this situation.

I agree that this behavior seems a little strange and I'm inclined to apply your patch (there's nothing mentioned in the Record Reference Manual about what should happen). The record's author is listed as Carl Lionberger who is still a member of this community â Carl, do you have any comments on this change?
