Rewriting my import app for all the changes in the new csv file. When compiling this error now occurs. Not sure what it means and how to correct.

Value requires (more) subscripts - C:\NewFMCSA\ImportFMCSA002.clw:257,11

```clarion
que:dot=bas:DOT_NUMBER

```

Compiles when this line is removed.

One of those fields is sn array and needs a [index]

As others have said, there’s an array in there somewhere.

Read the clw and look for those field declarations. If necessary read the MEMBER clw if the declarations are there.

In the declaration if its defjned as ,DIM then its an array.

Use File Open and pick ImportFMCSA002.clw  
Find Pre(que)  
Then scroll down to the field named DOT  
How is that declared?  
Does it have a DIM(  
If Yes, should it?

Repeat the above  
searching for Pre(bas) then DOT\_NUMBER

You probably won’t find it, I would guess it’s in your Dictionary  
So open your DCT  
Find the file with PRE(bas)  
Find the field DOT\_NUMBER  
It probably has a DIM number that you entered accidentally when you meant to enter that number into size

Failing that you could search in your root module  
ImportFMCSA.clw  
for Pre(bas) then DOT\_NUMBER

YES, thought I had checked but missed one file. Many thanks Carl and everyone. Have been struggling with this for days. Now to reconcile the other 2 dataset changes which are keyed to the DOT number. Thanks again for the help.
