Don: My apologies for the initial lack of info. I am also using MacOS Sierra.
I also tried running that script on my work shell.
Code:
[work@shell ~]$ ./loop.sh
./loop.sh: line 17: typeset: -n: invalid option
typeset: usage: typeset [-aAfFgilrtux] [-p] name[=value] ...

which just switches the inner and outer loops in the code I suggested before, changes the names of the arrays used as looping values, and adds code to add an empty line between groups. The above produces the output requested in post #4.
Thanks for the edit. I unfortunately do not have the option to rewrite the script my contrived example is based on from scratch. But I'll surely give ksh a try on another project! It seems to be more flexible than bash.

RudiC: Here is the code with typeset -n that I wasn't lucky with:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
declare -a index=(0 1 2 3 4);
declare -a animals=(dog cat horse penguin cow);
declare -a fruits=(orange apple grapes peach mango);
declare -a drinks=(juice milk coffee tea coke);
declare -a cities=(toronto paris london glasgow sydney);
declare -a countries=(canada france england scotland australia);
declare -a all=(animals fruits drinks cities countries);
typeset -n j
for i in "${index[@]}" ; do
echo ${i};
for j in "${all[@]}" ; do
echo ${!j}, ${j[$i]};
done;
done
It looks like neither shell at home or work has typeset -n

Finance::Quote::FinanceCanada - Obtain stock and mutual fund prices from finance.canada.com
SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;
# Can failover to other methods
%quotes = $q->fetch("canada", "stock_fund-code");
# Use this module only
%quotes = $q->fetch("financecanada", "stock_fund-code");
DESCRIPTION
This module obtains information about Canadian Stock and Mutual Funds from finanace.canada.com. The information source "canada" can be
used if the information source is unimportant, or "financecanada" to specifically use finance.canada.com.
STOCK_FUND-CODE
Canadian stocks/mutual funds do not have a unique symbol identifier. This module uses the symbols as used on finance.canada.com. The
simplest way to fetch the ID for a particular stock/fund is to go to finance.canada.com, search for your particular stock or mutual fund,
and note the symbol ID. This is helpfully provided by the site in their returned HTML quote.
LABELS RETURNED
Information available from financecanada may include the following labels:
