Hi, Ian
in the past I have used some variables in the same way I think as
you like to do it now.
The following function founds defined variables without structures.
They are removed by some statements in the routine.
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/variab.tar.gz
This function uses the internal routine routine_info. This is an
undocumented routine and it could
be that it will be removed in future releases.
Many routines e.g. Craigs restore or the read_ascii etc. are using some
features of this
routine.
I prefer myself reading variabels in structures mentioned by Martin see
point 2.
regards
Reimar
