Question does this variable call work--Korn

I am new to the UNIX environment, but not to programming. My intention is to create a 2D array and print it. Since the Korn Shell does not support that kind of variable, the following is my solution right now.
I have created a group of variables as follows:

table00
table01
table02
table10
table11
.
.
.
tablenn

My run into a brick wall when trying to print I have tried to display these variables with:

i=0
j=0
while [[ $i -lt $n ]]
do
while [[ $j -lt $n ]]
do
print "${table$i$j} "
let j=j+1
done
done

The above print command above does not print the value of table00, table01, etc. I get an error message saying that I am attempting to perform a substitution. I know this is something dumb on my part, but I would really appreciate any solutions or thoughts.
