If you don't, then you will run into an infinit recursion. But in this case (without assigning a value to v) the FORTRAN statement would not make too much sense anyway?? I would even suspect the compiler could complain... Albert -- Visual Analysis AG Internet: www.visualanalysis.com Neumarkter Str. 87 Telefon: 089 / 431 981 36 D-81673 Muenchen Telefax: 089 / 431 981 1
