Used in function input declaration statements to define an input as a Numerical Array with a specified number of dimensions.
 Input defined as Numerical can be used both as a ''Numerical Simple '' as well as a ''Numerical Series '' input; the value of a Simple input is constant from bar to bar and thus has no history, while the value of a Series input may vary from bar to bar and can be referenced historically.
==== Usage ====<syntaxhighlight>Input:InputName[M1,M2,M3,etc.](NumericArray)</syntaxhighlight>  ==== Parameters ==== [[InputName]] - an expression specifying the input name  The name can consist of letters, underscore characters, numbers, and periods.
== Parameters ==:'''InputName''' - an expression specifying the input name. The name can consist of letters, underscore characters, numbers, and periods. The name ''cannot '' begin with a number or a period and is not case-sensitive.   [[:'''M]] ''' - an input variable that represents the maximum index value for each dimension of the array passed to the function; a single input variable specifies a one-dimensional array input, two input variables specify a two-dimensional (M1 by M2) array input, three input variables specify a three-dimensional (M1 by M2 by M3) array input, etc.  ::An input will only accept an array with the specified number of dimensions.
==== Example ====
Declare Length as a one-dimensional Numerical Array function input:
<syntaxhighlight>Input:Length[X](NumericArray);</syntaxhighlight>
The maximum index value for the array passed to the function will be assigned to input variable X.
 
Declare Table as a three-dimensional Numerical Array function input:
<syntaxhighlight>Input:Table[X,Y,Z](NumericArray);</syntaxhighlight>
The maximum index value for each dimension of the array passed to the function will be assigned to input variables X, Y, and Z.
