The whole point to User Indexes is the "index" portion.  You don't get
that
with dynamic memory allocation.

That is why I am using User Indexes, because each entry is sorted and I
can
randomly access it.  Almost like having a two dimensional array, but
faster
and bigger (IBM's words).

Basically use dynamic memory allocation.  Not sure what the size limit
is on
that but I think it would be much greater than user indexes (but I've
been
wrong many times before LOL)
