Just to get a common understanding of some terms and some statements in your script
- I can't see a multidimensional array. What would you call a multidim array? Why do you need it?
- The arr_cust is used ONLY for the output file name - is that intended?
- Both charged_data and notcharged_data are populated by exactly the same algorithm (except the $ sign is missing for the latter) - intended?
- Both arr_cust and arr_ids are constants - why redefined in every loop iteration?
- Same for the data_call et al. in the services loop.
- No surprise the index loop doesn't work as it loops across the undefined array.
- Some dones missing for several for loops.
- What do you need the (deprecated, dangerous) eval commands for? Can't the result be achieved in another way?

All this is quite irritating and misleading. Why don't you post a decent input sample, the desired output for it, and describe the logics connecting the two in plain English?

Multi-Dimensional Arrays

So, I'm fooling around with multi demtional arrays, and I made this in a short amount of time: #include <stdio.h> main(int argc, char *argv) { char blah = { {'a', 'b'}, {'b', 'a'} }; int i = 0; while (i < 2) { if (argv == blah) printf("%c\n", blah); i++; } } The goal...

break

break(1)                                                           User Commands                                                          break(1)

NAME

       break, continue - shell built-in functions to escape from or advance within a controlling while, for, foreach, or until  loop

SYNOPSIS

   sh
       break [n]

       continue [n]

   csh
       break

       continue

   ksh
       *break [n]

       *continue [n]

DESCRIPTION

   sh
       The break utility exits from the enclosing for or while loop, if any. If n is specified, break n levels.

       The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosing for or while loop. If n is specified, resume at the n-th enclosing loop.

   csh
       The  break  utility  resumes  execution after the end of the nearest enclosing foreach or while loop. The remaining commands on the current
       line are executed. This allows multilevel breaks to be written as a list of break commands, all on one line.

       The continue utility continues execution of the next iteration of the nearest enclosing while or foreach loop.

   ksh
       The break utility exits from the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop, if any. If n is specified,  then  break  n  levels.  If  n  is
       greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be exited.

       The  continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop. If n is specified then resume at the n-
       th enclosed loop. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be used.

       On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:

       1.  Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.

       2.  I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.

       3.  Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.

       4.  Words that follow a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment are expanded with the same rules as a  vari-
           able  assignment.  This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign, and also that word splitting and file name genera-
           tion are not performed.
