Hello,

I'm fairly new to postgres and I'm trying to write a PL/pgsql function and
keep getting an error message. Here is the line that is giving me
trouble:

norm[i] := (NEW.area[i]/(A_slope * (i+18) + A_int)+NEW.area[i]/(C_slope *
(i+18) + C_int))/2;

The error message that I receive is: WARNING: plpgsql: ERROR during
compile of norm_n_scan near line 27 ERROR: parse error at or near "["

As you can see, I'm trying to assign a value to an array element, but it
isn't working for some reason. FYI, "norm" is declared as a floating
point array of unlimited size. Please let me know if you have any
suggestions. Thanks!!

P.S. My apologies for posting this to 2 lists!
