Hi, I'm trying to fetch the contnts of a DB table into an array then iterating over the array to read the elements. the DB table has 10 rows and 4 columns, but in the code below: elementList[0,0...

What if you change your code to this?
conn.Open();
var set;
//execute query for a payment type
set = conn.Execute_(
"select XXXXXXX ");
var elementList = new Array();
set.MoveFirst();
while(! set.EOF)
{
elementList.push([
set.Fields.Item("Col1").Value
,set.Fields.Item("Col2").Value
,set.Fields.Item("Col3").Value
,set.Fields.Item("Col4").Value]
);
set.MoveNext();
}
Log.Message(elementList[0][0]);
Log.Message(elementList[1][0]);
Log.Message(elementList);
Basically, you end up with an array of arrays which is what a 2D array is, effectively.
Thank you Robert! It helps but problem is still not solved.
This time, I have one whole row of the table going in each element of the array i.e.
elementList[0][0] = FirstRow
elementList[1][0] = SecondRow
elementList[1][0] = ThirdRowand each cell of that row is separated by ',' . Still trying to get a 2d array like structure in the result.
Thank you

Something is wrong in your implementation. Please make sure that you have all the code changes I included. In my tests, what I posted works as desired.
The important piece is here
elementList.push([ set.Fields.Item("Col1").Value ,set.Fields.Item("Col2").Value ,set.Fields.Item("Col3").Value ,set.Fields.Item("Col4").Value] ); set.MoveNext(); }Note the square brackets within the "push" call. If you don't have those, you won't get the desired nested array. Please double check this.
