Looking for advice...

The following code works fine for my purposes at the moment.  Since I
have a little extra time on this project I'd like to have this as a
service program.  Basically I use this for command interfaces.  When
receiving parameter data from the command interface, the data comes in
as varsize with a 5i 0 parameter length.  Instead of having to duplicate
this code for each keyword that can return multiple values, I would like
to have a procedure that I pass the number of entries for the parameter,
received data string & dynamically allocate the space for the data &
return a pointer to the data.

Here's the working example:

For i = 0 To ( SpCount - 1 );                        
  BndSrvPgm_(i+1) = %Subst(BindSrvPgm                
                          :3 + ( i * %Size(SrvPgm_) )
                          :%Size(SrvPgm_));          
EndFor;                             

I'd like to do something like this in my main procedure:

ParmPtr = DynamicArray(EntryCount : EntryData);

& have a dynamic array DS based on the return pointer.  Since I can't
use a variable DIM count to define the dynamic array DS, what would you
folks suggest??                 

Thanks,
Tommy Holden
