Thankyou very much for workaround.

Code similar to this I found on pages in tutorial, in chapter "Array Constructor":

tictactoe := ARRAY [1..3], [1..3] OF CHAR{
                  ARRAY OF CHAR{' ', ' ', ' '},
                  ARRAY OF CHAR{' ', ' ', ' '},
                  ARRAY OF CHAR{' ', ' ', ' '} 
               };
