Monitoring a member of an associative array

Question

I have an associative array called array, on which I'm trying to do the following:

initial
begin
 $monitor ("array[10]=%h", array[32'h20]);
end

I need to know whenever there is a change on this member. But I get the following error:

Associative array may not be used in non-procedural context.

Can someone tell me how and if this is possible?

You code works in Modelsim/Questa going to versions back 10 years. You might try

always @(array[32'h20]) $displayh(array['h20]);
