Use equivalence statements to get the added dimensions. It's a little more
work, but it's a workaround.
I ran into a problem where I needed a 4 dimensional matrix in COBOL. The
Univac reps said no one could understand more than 3 dimensions. I told
them, "I could understand 10. Too bad about you guys."
I just redefined the matrices which was the COBOL version of equivalence and
had no problem with a 4 dimensional matrix.
(I always refered to arrays and matrices, which bugged them.)
Just make sure you have enough memory available and you can have as many
dimensions you need.
