I want to write a program which generates 2D arrays of size n x n after n has
been input from the keyboard by the user running the program. My debugger
tells me I must use a constant in the range used for the index type. Is there
a way to declare an array using the n variable? Or do I have to declare a huge
array (what a waste of memory) and then do sub-range processing based on user
input? BTW I'm using Sun Pascal.

Thanks for any help, Bertrand Limoges
