Dale, I never got it quite clear in my head until just now. I'm comfortable when I have to examine RC to see how a routine worked, but I knew that RESULT also did something, sometimes, and I was never sure exactly what. Many times in past programs I had to test my program looking at RC and at RESULT, to see which one I wanted. Now I think I've got it. Thanks.
