How to define First Time Initializers of an array of symbols?

FAQ #101843

 

Introduction
The feature of initializing an array of symbols can be very handy, but when not done as PG5 expects the inizializers, some errors can be provoked during build time (Error 1211: Too many initializers, or  1212: Missing initializers).

Example
For IL
The following examples show two ways of defining the first time Initializers in IL:

Init the whole array on one line (the amount of initializers must be identical to the array size!)


Init one symbol one by one (it's not necessary to init all the symbols from an array)


Remark
Don't forget to address the first symbol of an array with "+0" (in the second example). If this is omitted, PG5 assumes that the whole array shall be initialized and will abort the build with the error message:
