Toby,
I really don't know what Kumar is trying to do, but I do know what the code
does.
The values in the PCTS array are compared to the numbers 3, 4, and 5. The
values of the OUTREP_GOOD, OUTREP_VGOOD, and OUTREP_EXCEL arrays are set to
1 (true) or 0 (false) based on the comparisons with the values in the PCTS
array.
Hope this helps,
Ed

Well as Ron just pointed out I screwed up with my _n_ answer, alas I had
a mental failure....
But after review I have to ask what the heck is Kumar after here?
do i = 1 to n;
outrep_good(i) = pcts(i) = 3;
outrep_vgood(i) = pcts(i) = 4;
outrep_excel(i) = pcts(i) = 5;
end;
I am still puzzled by the three statements in the do loop.
Looks like Ron just beat me to posting this on the list but what the
heck.

the above array descriptions are for implicit arrays
the below array usages in the algorithm
are for explicit arrays.
declaration of implicit array using I as counter
> array outrep_excel(i) 4 out_a out_b out_c out_d;
explicit, any integer as counter
> array outrep_excel (*) 4 out_a out_b out_c out_d;
> do i = 1 to n;

which means your data structure declarations
don't agree with their use in the algorithm
