I tried the FIELDS before, but never tried the OCONV method. Intresting... George, 'Vertical' summation can be achieved by using vector OCONVS with a G conversion. eg to sum the 2nd value from an attribute delimited dynamic array : SUM(OCONVS(Z,'G1':@VM:1)) nb. It would seem logical to use

I think George Was viewing it for other uses of dynamic arrays other than database records. Dynamic arrays are quite often used for building a matrix of run time totals or to build something similar to a data warehouse cube where you want to total the values from different dimensions. Think
