I am fully aware of the difference of the underlying concept of SELECT in SQL and foreach in C-Shell, thanks. What I didn't get was that all you did was changing the term foreach (with no implied concept) against select (again no concept) - end up with a syntax that is the same apart from using different words. So if we use a declarative approach using select semantics but label the construct "foreach", would everybody be happy? I doubt so. Stefan
