Hi Rob, Was my first try at making concatenation into append and prepend= by any chance right the first time. I still haven't looked it= up. Or are you teasing me to prove I can do the other thing I said? No chance either, QT, I'll keep that for the moment it will= really be necessary. : P Antoine

I have to agree with Antoine. I never use append or prepend because I've been able to do the job faster with &. I found this out after trying to speed up several programs, but they only went slower with append. regards, Dan

Hello, What about using repeat( ) to build your sequence and assigning values to given indice within, then truncating any over allocated sequences when finished. Although, this could become a problem if you run out of alloted sequence so care must be used with this method. This is usually a much faster codeing style.`!

Your solution depends on the size of sequences Euman. If they were under 3 or 4 positions the method Dan and I, and= maybe others use would be faster I timed it . Ask Robert Craig about how I time= things. Dan, fully correct guy, I sent the correction in thrice, guess= there was a quirky filtered word in it, on things to be forgotten if you get my drift. I was to etc.... Didn't like to consult RefMan on correct order. Could be other reasons, see thread, what I ask Rob. Cheers guys. It's midnight here, so you can guess what I'm gonna do CU antoine
