That helped so far as syntax is concerned!

Please note that I need to use elements of array a, a is an array is
predefined with some random numbers, say a={0 7 2 1 4}. (I cannot use range,
I need to use the "data" I have with me).

a = {0 7 2 1 4};
Manipulate[
 Plot[Evaluate[
   Piecewise[{{x - p - q, x - p - q <= a}}, (x - p - q)^2]], {x, 0,
   20}, PlotRange -> {Automatic, {0, 50}}], {p, 0, 20}, {q, 0, 20}]
didn't work

Thanks,

Vedhas
