All,
I am completely new to CLIST so please forgive me for my ignorance. Is there
any type of array variable type in CLIST or anything like a stem variable in
REXX? I am somewhat familiar with Rexx, and I am used to using stem variables
and dereferencing the values in a loop, but I can't see
mainframe!

You can construct variable names.

Does this work in CLIST even as it does in Rexx if the tail
("&COUNT" in this case) is an (almost) arbitrary string, possibly
containing special characters, whitespace, etc.:
Gil,

Thanks Dave. That seemed to work for part of it, but I am getting an error
if I am trying to assign a value to the variable within the loop; i.e.
assign a value using this type of variable. /* This CLIST demonstrates how
to create an array.

Where is there a reference to a variable called &COLOR? Shouldn't
&&COLOR&COUNT expand to &(name), where name is COLOR followed by the

Shouldn't that be SET &COLOR1 = 1?
If it worked like REXX, then yes it would work the way
I wouldn't characterize CLIST as 'always ignoring the first ampersand'. The
ampersand in
SET &COLOR = RED
is *optional* because the position of the term to the left of the equal
sign marks it as a variable regardless of whether the ampersand is coded.
That is, only a variable could possibly occup

To extend my own post, another experiment:
SET RED = BLUE
SET COLOR = &RED
SET COLLAR = &&RED
WRITE 'Write of &COLOR: ' &COLOR
WRITE 'Write of &&COLOR: ' &&COLOR
WRITE 'Write of &&COLLAR: ' &&COLLAR
WRITE 'Write of &COLLAR: ' &COLLAR
produces:
'WRITE OF BLUE: ' BLUE

Let me see if I understand this:
SET RED = 'WOMBAT'
SET COLOR = RED
PRINT &&COLOR/* Prints 'WOMBAT', Doesn't it? */
The CLIST syntax to display WOMBAT would be as follows:
SET RED = WOMBAT /* No quotes required */
SET COLOR = &RED

I'm convinced that a clist array variable could be achieved since it's only
an issue of symatic expression. The real question is time, cost and user
acceptance. - Paul Hanrahan

No! Missed the point! If I wanted to display WOMBAT, I could
simply do
WRITE WOMBAT
couldn't I? The objective is to assign to or display the
variable whose (unspecified) name is in &COLOR. The Rexx
equivalent would be:
interpret color "= 'WOMBAT
