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.

You could use 'scantokens': string a[]; a 1 := "A"; a 2 := "B"; a 3 := "C"; T A := 11; T B := 12; T C := 13; for i = 1 upto 3: show (T scantokens a [i]); endfor; end This produces the output >>11 >>12 >>13 The idea is to store the suffixes as strings, and then use 'scantokens' to extract them.
