Scott,

The problem with the array method is the 32K limit.  I did use it in triggers
all the time under V3R2 though.

I also wrote a little MI program for V3R2 to allow me to use pointer arithmetic.
It just took three parameters:

  - Pointer
  - Offset to add or subtract
  - Optional opcode: "ADD" or "SUB"  with "ADD" as the default

I used a subprocedure to call it.  I think it is in the MI list archives.  It
left itself in storage so was pretty fast as it had a trivial number of
instructions...

Thankfully I no longer need to support V3R2 and get to use all the goodies up
through V5R1 now!
