Thanks,

I haven't tried it yet but I think an array is exactly the answer on my
question.

Sure is. This is a classic use of sequences. Remember that a sequence can
be
used to implement an array. In this case a list of scores.

He is a bit of code to demonstrate it.

----------
sequence RBI
constant MAXPLAYERS = 10
integer atbat
. . .
-- Initialise the scores
RBI = repeat(0, MAXPLAYERS)
. . .
-- Increase score
if X > 0 then
    if atbat > 0 and atbat <= MAXPLAYERS then
        RBI[atbat] += 1
    else
        printf(1, "Logic error: 'atbat' = %d\n", atbat)
    end if
end if
