So I could use [#[#200+4900]] to access the data at #4900 if #200 contains 0. 4919 if #200 contains 19 etc etc? That syntax I hadn't tried. I had assumed a #numbered access would start with a # sign, but wrap the rest in a set of []. I've scanned thru the most recent .pdf, about 2 weeks old I believe, and there do not appear to be any examples in it to guide one in writing something like this. But see my msg to Andy just now, I cannot even get that far. That last line fails to assign a value, even if the next line is an M2. > Assume that #200 contains the value "23". > This line reads the value from #1123, and assigns it to #110. > Basically I have an array of data starting at #1100, and #200 is the > index into the array. > > This code was written ages ago (2008).
