Hi there, this is an ordinary if then or else loop in Fortran and Basic, but instead of storing the found result in "C" I'suggest creating a (4x1) matrix columm vector and store the "found values in the column vector at each "i" location and I suspect it is the same in Gretl but I confess to being a novice at Gretl sorry to say right now Best wishes to all, Hope these few commnts are of small help Good luck Richard Hudson
