Inserting 2D array to a 3D array

[EDGAR_PLATRONICS]

HI

I have a 3d string array 2x2x2 and I need to add another page to that array.

This new page is 2x3.

I am using "Insert into array" function and result is a 3D array 3x2x2, but it should be 3x2x3.

I mean, last inserted page was inserted but cut to 2x2

How can I do it ?

Regards

Did you read the LabVIEW help for InsertIntoArray? Especially the last paragraph on "Details"? That sentence about "changing only one dimension"?

First change the size of the existing "pages" in your 3D array, then insert the new "page" array…

But: most often it is recommended to use BuildArray instead of InsertIntoArray - as is also in your case!

Replace InsertIntoArray by BuildArray to append your 3rd "page" and magically the 2D array is appended correctly to your existing 3D array…
