Re: Calling set_count from within the INPUT ARRAY statement??

I think you're going to have to leave/reenter the array via a WHILE loop in order for set_count() to take effect. The FAQ has examples of this in relation to emulating a NEXT ROW sort of thing. Another solution that may be acceptable to you is to call set_count() with the max size of the array, rather than the number of rows you've filled in (i.e.: you have and array of size 100 and fill in 30 rows at the start, you still CALL set_count(100)). This is suitable if the user does *not* use the INSERT and DELETE keys, but rather only adds rows at the bottom of the filled-in area (and via your ":r" trick), and deletes either not at all or via ON KEY. ======================================================================= Dennis J.
