This is a really nice example of the use stems can be put to once one stops thinking of them as arrays. To my mind though it contains one potential bug -- it depends on FORMAT and MNENO remaining uninitialized. I would prefer to prefix such symbols with, eg, a 0 to make sure they couldn't be, eg

Don't beat yourself up. Stems are powerful, but as you're discovering have some non-obvious gotcha's. It looks like you're still thinking of them as numerically-indexed arrays. They're not: you can use anything as an index including strings (yes, with spaces), and even constants to hold data in
