Multiple arrays loop shell

I have a problem building a "dynamic" array.

First of all I create an array to generate a list of names of files:

declare -a pgidarr=`run "select partition_id from ETL.PARTITION_GROUP_MEMBER where partition_group_id=${PGID}"`
for i in ${pgidarr[@]}
do
ARRLOOP=$i
PAID=`run "select LPAD('${ARRLOOP}',2,'0')"` #LPAD the partition ID
FILENAME=ABCD_${PAID}_000000.txt

Now in the same loop I want to create a NEW array

trigarrat=("${trigarrat[@]}" $FILENAME)

But when I run it doens't replace $FILENAME

On Google I can't find much about arrays and variables, anyone could please help me? ;) Thanks! Alex

Try using += to append elements to trigarrat:

declare -a pgidarr=`run "select partition_id from ETL.PARTITION_GROUP_MEMBER where partition_group_id=${PGID}"`
trigarrat=()
for i in ${pgidarr[@]}
do
    ARRLOOP=$i
    PAID=`run "select LPAD('${ARRLOOP}',2,'0')"` #LPAD the partition ID 
    FILENAME=ABCD_${PAID}_000000.txt
    trigarrat+=($FILENAME)
done
