You can't proceed this way. You have to assign value to your array one by one.
Your array is bool, your input parameters are int, not a good idea.
A workaround could be to use a string as input variable, say
extern string Hours = "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23";
and then use StringSplit to get an array of strings from this single string, and call StrToInteger for every element to build array of ints.

thanks i got it to work one-by-one, and thanks for the tip re book/ints.
Is there a technical reason why you cant add them in one, or just something peculiar to mql4?

Hi, I'm sure this is a basic programming misunderstanding on my behalf -
I'm getting a 'constant expression required' error message when compiling.
I simply want to create an array based on extern inputs to the program. I've tried putting the code globally and in a function but getting the same results. It seems to work if I simply assign the array values manually, but not when I try to use a variable.
What I was trying to do was create a bool function to say yes or no to trading at a particular time, based on the inputs. I understand there are probably easier ways, but I want the 'on/off' per hour ability.
Any help appreciated. Thanks, Mark.
