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.

print(9E)							Driver Entry Points							 print(9E)

NAME
print - display a driver message on system console SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/errno.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h> int prefixprint(dev_t dev, char *str); INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI). This entry point is required for block devices. PARAMETERS
dev Device number. str Pointer to a character string describing the problem. DESCRIPTION
The print() routine is called by the kernel when it has detected an exceptional condition (such as out of space) in the device. To display the message on the console, the driver should use the cmn_err(9F) kernel function. The driver should print the message along with any driver specific information. RETURN VALUES
The print() routine should return 0 for success, or the appropriate error number. The print routine can fail if the driver implemented a non-standard print() routine that attempted to perform error logging, but was unable to complete the logging for whatever reason. SEE ALSO
cmn_err(9F) Writing Device Drivers SunOS 5.10 15 Sep 1992 print(9E)
