I have found this form quite useful:- alloc_member_cnt = alloc_member_cnt + 1 alloc_member.alloc_member_cnt = my_member alloc_member.my_member = alloc_member_cnt
additional information can be retained in the "array":- alloc_dsname.alloc_member_cnt = my_dsn alloc_dsname.my_dsn = alloc_member_cnt allowing you multiple ways to process the data. If Strip(alloc_member.new_member) <> "" Then Do Say "member" new_member "found at entry" alloc_member.new_member End Else Do alloc_member_cnt = alloc_member_cnt + 1 alloc_member.alloc_member_cnt = new_member alloc_member.new_member = alloc_member_cnt End Regards Bruce Hewson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
