My problem:
How do I use assoc variables to handle ~50 files simultaneously.
IDL does not allow one to make an array of assoc variables
or to bury assoc variables inside a structure definition.
This requires that each assoc variable be individually named,
which means NO for loops or other automated techniques.
The only solution I have been able to come up with is ugly
and is based on automatically generating strings for variable
names (like a1, a2,...) and then using the execute command
to assoc and operate on these string names as variables.
There must be a better way
Glad to see that there is finally some traffic on this newsgroup.
