Or...if you want to compare every item in Array1 with every item in Array2:

a!localVariables(
  local!Array1: {100,200,300,400,700},
  local!Array2: {100, 100, 300, 500,700},
  a!forEach(
    items: local!Array1,
    expression: with(
      local!currentValue: fv!item,
      a!forEach(
        items: local!Array2,
        expression: fv!item=local!currentValue
      )
    )
  )
)

I'm not sure what you question is. But in case this is what you meant...here's another solution:

a!localVariables(
  local!Array1: {100,200,300,400,700},
  local!Array2: {100, 100, 300, 500,700},
  a!forEach(
    items: local!Array1,
    expression: fv!item=local!Array2[fv!index]
  )
)

Hey - try this:

a!localVariables(
  local!Array1: {100,200,300,400,700},
  local!Array2: {100, 100, 300, 500,700},
  a!forEach(
    items: fn!merge(local!Array1,local!Array2),
    expression: fv!item[1]=fv!item[2]
  )
)

The key to this is to use the merge() function which creates a list of lists (that is, it takes the first item in your first array and pairs it with the first item in your second array, and then the second with the second...and so forth)
