(j3.2006) associate name

[Rafik Zurob]

Hi Bill

Section 8.1.3.3 "Other attributes of associate names" contains:  "The 
lower bound of each dimension is the result of the intrinsic function 
LBOUND (13.8.100) applied to the corresponding dimension of selector."  So 
lbound(assoc_name) is defined as lbound(x), and lbound(x) as you pointed 
out requires that x be associated.

Regards

Rafik
