I
I need more information concerning the Shape. The manual on it is
quite short. I do not see any information about the error messages.
They are very mysterious.
How can I change only one value in a table? I tried with
subshape but indexing seems to not to work with variables.
I would like to fill the table with values of certain function.
Is a double (triple) for loop the best way to do it?

subshape( lo, hi, array ) = values;

is the best way to fill an array. Doing it with a double/triple loop will
be very inefficient. You'll need to make sure that your left and right
hand sides of the previous assignment statement are compatibly sized, 
which you can do by trying

write(shape(values));
write(shape(subshape( lo, hi, array )));
