I thought initialization was the act of creating and assigning a default value for each field within the structure. If you initialize a variable or structure, that means that every field has a value that can be checked. If you just want to see if it exists, then just use isdefined() or parameterexists() or something of that nature.

Or are you not allowed to create a variable without set it's value? -----Original Message----- From: Matthew R.

IsDeclared would be of no help in this situation, because you could have a struct without having it set up. What is the best way to validate whether a struct has been initialized properly.
