1 workaround you can try is create a nvo that has the array as an attribute, and just pass the object.  I would imagine that should work based on the info you supplied.  I created an object, n_map, that simulates a java map.  It's a standard nvo, and has an array of objects as an attribute.  The array is another object I call n_namevalue and has 2 attributes - string "key" and any "value".  I have the standard get and put methods, as well as FindByIndex and FindByValue to get the unique n_namevalue object you need, and then a GetValue method on the n_namevalue to get the actual object, which can be anything.  This may be a little overkill for what you need, but I could send it to you if you wanted.  As I mentioned, you can just also create a basic nvo and have an array on it, which you should be able to pass.  Good luck and let me know if that doesn't work, or if you want my map object(s).

We pay for support.  Would logging the bug be different then the "standard Support" link you sent me?

Hi David;

POPTest[] = s_simple_arr[]  

     I tested the above code this AM in PS 2017 using the Web debugger and it does not work! You are 100% correct. The code does not throw an exception either. 

I also tested ...

POPTest = s_simple_arr 

    This code does not work either. 

Please open a support ticket for this issue as it does work in native PB.

After a bunch of testing here is what I found and easy to reproduce...

PowerObject array is supported but there is a catch..  If you pass array to it as open ended

I.E.

Powerobject POPARR[]

s_structrue ls_str[]

set info into structure

POPARR[] = ls_str[]    //this does not work.

POPARR[1] = ls_str[1] //this does work,

Looks like you have to quantify the passing in the array vs passing it without quantifying it.

Chris if you could please confirm,  Below is script you can copy/paste to test. Let me know your results

PowerObject POPTest[]
s_str_test s_simple_arr[], s_new_arr[]

//Structure definition
//s_str_test 
//  string s_string
//  string s_string2
//  Long l_number

s_simple_arr[1].s_string = 'test1'
s_simple_arr[1].s_string2 = 'test1'
s_simple_arr[1].l_number = 1234

s_simple_arr[2].s_string = 'test2'
s_simple_arr[2].s_string2 = 'test2'
s_simple_arr[2].l_number = 1234

//this does not work
POPTest[] = s_simple_arr[]  

//this does work
POPTest[1] = s_simple_arr[1]
POPTest[2] = s_simple_arr[2]

s_new_arr[1] = POPTest[1]
s_new_arr[2] = POPTest[2]

Hi David,

The powerobject array is supported. We’d recommend you to open a ticket in the Appeon ticketing system at https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/ and attach a PB sample that can reproduce this issue so we could have a closer look at it.

Hi David;

      The PowerBuilder Message object only has one singular element defined as PowerObject. Looks like your PB App might have sub-classed the Message object and the descendant has added another PowerObject property as an array.

Can you confirm the above?
