Rarely, but yes. Currently, though, I'm struggling with a problem where using a reasonable way of expressing a date makes a calculation take 15 minutes while hard coding the date as a constant makes the same calculation take 33 seconds. (And I need to implement this so it runs every hour - or, preferably, every five minutes - on an ongoing basis.) I expect there's a lot of static type skeletons buried here. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
