Problem calculating % of values in timeseries below a cutoff point - how to define a variable that you later calculate?

Hi,

I am trying to calculate % of values in a timeseries below a cutoff point,
but keep getting error messages related to not having defined the variables
that I am calculating (not reading in) properly. Just calculating the
variable in the do loop doesn't seem to define them, and when I try to
define them before I calculate them, I've tried a couple ways but haven't
got it right so far. Can anyone help me out with this problem? My script is
below...

The error message is: undefined identifer: pct_drought_mod1 is undefined,
can't continue.

     count = count +1

   pct_drought_mod1(i,j) = count/348

end do
