Jeff,
Thank you for your reply.
I should have said with dim names not column names. I want the Mateix to have
dim names, no row names, dim names j, k, xxx1, xxx2.

I am trying to create an array, myvalues, having 2 rows and 4 columns, where
the column names are j,k,xxx1,xxx2. The code below fails, with the following
error, "Error in dimnames(myvalues) <- list(NULL, zzz) :
length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent"
Please help me get the code to work.
Thank you,
John

head(myvalues,1)

dimnames(myvalues)<-list(NULL,zzz)
