This is what I was referring to. Though I will agree in general, there are times when I need things like a linked list or a push down stack or queue of my own. This generally requires dynamic allocation of memory in the "heap". If you have an alternative, I am very open to learning it. Oh, and in PL/I, I have, rarely, had to ALLOC arrays with dynamic run-time dimensions. Of course, this was not doing normal commercial-type work. > <snip> > > -- > Peter Hunkeler > Credit Suisse -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
