I'm not sure if i understad your code correctly -
i imagine you want to use the scatter command to
broadcast the contents of your 2-dimensional array stat,
is that right?
If so, then the problem is that Scatter actually gets an array of pointers
and sends these pointers trying to interpret them as doubles.
You either have to use several scatter commands or "fold" your
2D-Array into a one-dimensional array.
Hope this helps
