Thanks Ron, This looks to be close to what I need. I'll have to see if I can fit this into my needs. You're right about maintainability but the trade off is I don't have to worry about a detached subroutine getting changed to generalize it for reuse. There's something to be said for specific use programming in a non-OOP environment. <smile>
Charles' comments are good, too, and I've told myself much of what he said. I really want to avoid the subroutine method, though, specifically to force a single use of the function. The choice of a bunch of very small, specific use, subroutines verses a general purpose subroutine is always a dilemma. In this case, I'm wanting to avoid the general purpose option. While waiting for replies, I went ahead and did the subroutine but that's only if we're not able to come up with an I-DESC only solution.
