SYMPTOMS
========

The APPEND FROM ARRAY command should create one record in the currently selected
database for each row in an array. Occasionally, only a single record will be
created with the data from the first element of the array.

CAUSE
=====

The array has been created as a one-dimensional array, as shown in the following
example:

     DIMENSION myarray(40)

RESOLUTION
==========

The array must be created as a two-dimensional array, as shown in the following
example:

     DIMENSION myarray(40,1)

The ",1" causes the array to be created as 40 rows by 1 column. The APPEND FROM
ARRAY command will now function as expected.
