That's a slick solution --- I do believe truncating a dim write is universal.

I'll just add that in D3 we can do this: matread dimrec from fv,key else null dynrec = dimrec write dynrec on fv,key Perhaps non-intuitively, the assignment of a dimensioned array to a non-dimensioned variable not only creates a dynamic array, but automatically truncates trailing attributes. It's the equivalent to matbuild, which I believe by default also truncates. I thought the same behaviour was standard in U2, haven't checked sorry.

Someone commented on it here a while back. How about doing something about that? If you quote code it gets corrupted, so what's the point?) _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
