Hi,
how can I get the following piece of code to work:
type MenuRec=RECORD
word_menuItem:word;
word_itemNumber:word;
p_itemArray:array[1..word_itemNumber]of pchar; {<- error occurs
here! }
END;
I guess, you will understand what I want to do: I'd like to use a value
stored in word_itemNumber for defining the size of an array within the
very same Record.
But it won't compile, I get the following error message:
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.1.1 [2007/01/05] for i386

How to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
