Thanks so much for the tip...it is basically the correct thing.

just as a note, I am working on a Mac and

for i from 1 to nops(fd)
do
cat(var,i):=12345*i;
save cat(var,i),fd[i];
end do;

didn't quite work...it told me I had an invalid save command.

however if I simply added

for i from 1 to nops(fd)
do
temp:=fd[i]:
cat(var,i):=12345*i;
save cat(var,i),temp;
end do;

it seemed to work fine.

Thanks again!!
