Bill, I don't have the javadoc for the dynamic array class provided by uniobjects handy but that may do it. I don't think a simple ArrayList will do it, primarily because it won't have insert capability.
Building a dynamic array in java is certainly possible but has some interesting cases to handle. Regards, Adrian On Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 10:39 AM, Brutzman, Bill <[email protected]>wrote: > > Yes...
