This isn't exactly true Tom. What Scott and I suggested will work just fine - the trick is that you have to be careful to pass the length of the variable each time. In Don's case, the simplest way was to pass the length as a parameter. In another situation, using the keywords 'CONST' and 'VARYING' together would work. I've heard that operational descriptors can be used as well, but I haven't done so myself.
