identifier' : missing subscript

The definition of an array with multiple subscripts is missing a subscript value for a dimension higher than one.

The following sample generates C2087:

// C2087.cpp  
int main() {  
   char a[10][];   // C2087  
}  

Possible resolution:

// C2087b.cpp  
int main() {  
   char b[4][5];  
}
