generate an Array using value for naming the keys?

Mark, thank you very much!

i didn't know or remember that the key name of an array can be created directly using strings and variables

Maybe i even did that in the past, but could not remember anymore. I really thought i have solved it that time with value()  :) 

Regards,
Matthias
