Array -> Cluster question

[Rick Nelson]

Hello all,

I want to change an array to a cluster, but you have to "pop-up" on the
icon to set the array size beforehand. Is there a way to go from an
array to a cluster with a changing array size? I don't think there is
-- I don't think you build a cluster the same way as an array (if you
use a shift register on a loop like you do an array, instead of a
cluster of elements you get a cluster of a cluster of a cluster... etc.)

If anyone has figured out an easy way to get around this limitation,
that would be great. Thank you.

Rick

Arrays allow for variable numbers of elements. Clusters have a fixed
number of elements that must be known at compile time. The number is
needed to be able to perform the conversion and know the output datatype.
