Difficult, if you start as a trainee at a company that decided to force that all STATIC variables be set to NONASSINGABLE. They very much look like constants then. (Been there, seen that.) I admit it is not the STATC but the NONASSIGNABLE keyword that makes the constants, but a trainee migth not yet appreciate that fine distinction. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
