awk arrays

Guys,

OK so i have been trying figure this all all day, i guess its a pretty easy way to do it.

Right, so i have to column of data which i have gotten from one huge piece of data. What i would like to do is to put both of these into one array using awk. Is this possible??

If so could someone give me a few pointers??

Thanks in advance!
