Two problems here:

In article <91165.095327PRD3@psuvm.psu.edu>, <PRD3@psuvm.psu.edu> says:
>...
>int CODE_MATRIX[26][25];         //global

>mod_loop++;
>INMOD1[mod_loop][0]="9";        //mod_loop is 1

First: an array declared as a[SIZE] goes from a[0] to a[SIZE-1]; a[SIZE]
is undefined (and in thic case points to the first element of the next
array).

second:  "9" evaluates to a (const char *), not a char.  But perhaps
you meant '9', which is a char (actually an int).

Penn State doesn't speak for me.
