Thanks Hans! That wolud help me a lot.Also thanks for the reference u mentioned.I'll try it. Now one last thing : Is there a way of having variable arrays whose contents can be used as "suffixes"? something like , a[0]:= "A" ; a[1]:= "B" ; a[2]:= "C" ; %a variable array "a[]" there are other three "pair" variables : T.A,T.B,T.C; so now I want to have , i := 0; T.a[i] = blahblah(); so here I want to use the contents of "a[]" as suffix of variable " T " . I don't know what kind of data type to use for "a[]". I tried a[] as string type and used it with forsuffixes $=a[0],a[1],a[2]: ..... endfor; but this does not work. So, can u please help me out here? thanx in advance.
