A custom indexer for the Datastep Array. The indexer will
return a value for all columns or a specified column. To
access all columns, leave the indexer empty. Otherwise, specify the
the column name(s) or number(s) to return data for. The indexer will
always act upon the current row in the datastep.
For additional details, see the dsarray function.
# S3 method for class 'dsarray'
x[i = NULL]The dsarray object.
The index of the datastep array item to return a value for. This index can be a column name or position in the array. It can also be a vector of column names or positions. If no index is supplied, a vector of all array values will be returned.
The value of the specified column for the current row in the datastep. If no index is supplied, a vector of all column values will be returned.
