Hmm, havn't been doing much MODULA programming lately, but from 
what I take from the MODULA standard, it would be something like:

MODULE example;
TYPE
  CA = ARRAY [0..9] OF CARDINAL;

CONST
  myTable = CA({0, 6, 2, 5, 1, 3, 4, 9, 8, 7});

...

though I can't garantee that the braces ({}) are correct.
