      <div>I tried this:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>create type &quot;array&quot; external name &quot;str&quot;;</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>create table atest(it array);</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>insert into atest values(&#39;test&#39;);</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Yielding the following error:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>
        <div>TypeException:user.s2_27[3]:&#39;calc.array&#39; undefined in:
          _5:any := calc.array(_4:str)</div>
        <div>program contains errors</div>
      </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>So, that was probably not the right way to do it ...</div>
      <div><br>

      <div>Thanks,</div>
