if I define

list varchar(25)[3],

how do I then set list[2]='some value';

Firebird chokes when I attempt to set a value by referencing the 
subscript... as list[2] or list(2) or list.2...

update student
    set list[2] = 'fred'
    where ID='0001';

why allow arrays if you can't set array item values?

thanks in advance for your help!
cheers,
Don B.
