Usage Notes
o With ARRAY, each subscript has an upper and lower bound defined
by a pair of signed integers.
o In multidimensional arrays, ROW_MAJOR declares the rightmost
subscript to be the fastest varying. COLUMN_MAJOR declares the
leftmost subscript to be the fastest varying.
o If neither ROW_MAJOR nor COLUMN_MAJOR is specified, the default
is ROW_MAJOR.
