This will create recursively a multi-dimensional list whose dimensions are passed as a list and initialized with 0:

Code:

EXPORT dimension(mylist)
BEGIN
  LOCAL l:=tail(mylist),v:={};
  IFTE(SIZE(mylist)==1,MAKELIST(0,I,1,mylist(1)),MAKELIST(dimension(l),I,1,my​list(1)));
END;

dimension({3,2,2}) returns {{{0,0},{0,0}},{{0,0},{0,0}},{{0,0},{0,0}}}
