How to Reference an Associative Array

Programmer Guide > Working with Lists and Associative Arrays > How to Reference an Associative Array

The basic syntax of a reference to a element of an associative array is:

variable_name (key_name)

where variable_name must be a variable that contains an associative array, and key_name is the name of the key (a string) and must exist for the associative array.

Embedded, nested associative arrays use a subscripting scheme similar to that of multi-dimensional arrays:

variable_name(key_name1, key_name2, ...)

note	If the elements of nested associative arrays are of type structure or list, they follow the rules for subscripting structures or lists.
