The solution posted by Ed can be generalized to any dimensional array. In fact, what Ed posted is a basic algorithm covered in most introductory text on data structures and is essentially how most compilers handle multi-dimensional arrays. If you grab yourself a book on data structures, you should have no problem translating the algorithm into plsql and putting that into a package - essentially role your own multi-dimensional array.
