No, I haven't really had a chance to.  What is the primary purpose and/or
benefit of VARYING?  At some point I need to re-encapsulate my IFS routines
(I generate JSP and XML files), and something tells me VARYING would work
well there, probably better than the %trim and "+" technique I've used up
until now.  (Of course, %trim and "+" is a step up from the original CAT :nn
syntax that I was using!)
