Thanks Gianni and Lew, I guess that's one reason to use Execscript instead of macro substitution. I was trying to figure out if there were any advantages beyond the elegance of a one liner.
I went back to the help but didn't find anything to indicate that an array created there would not be accessible in the following code. Is there a clue I am missing or am I just supposed to know??
