Message: [QUOTE="Andy, post: 4127344"] Just shooting from the hip, but I suppose you already tried: type local_array_t is array(integer range <>) of rec_t.num; One would think that 'base should be usable for this, but the spec clearly says that the attribute is only usable as a prefix for another attribute. Still seems like a reasonable enhancement request, especially if the above does not work (not sure why they limited 'base to use as a prefix in the first place). As a work-around, if you defined a named subtype for use in the record definition, and referenced that subtype in the local array definition, that would solve your problem. Then you could change the base type of the subtype definition, and both the record and the local array would be updated. Andy [/QUOTE]
