If you use a pre-runtime array, there is no way to handle a dynamic array. It’s “pre-runtime”. If you need dynamic, allocate memory during runtime and load records into the allocated memory. Dynamic processing can only happen during runtime. — Tom

A number seem reasonable. The obvious is to declare a larger array.
 
But I don’t know why you’re loading records into an array in the first place. Without knowing anything about the purpose, there’s no way to know what suggestions make sense.
