Hi Ben

Been sick the last couple days, so I'm a tad late responding.

That certainly would shortcut things a bit. I'm brainwashed into the Cult of
the Array, but I suppose since the loop will actually run faster almost all
the time, I'll have to give some ground. :-) But isn't being able to do
WHERE(struc_array.name EQ filename) just plain cool?

By cutting out LUNs 0-99, you are trusting your users not to (foolishly)
manage their own LUNs. Only you can tell if that is a wise decision.

Best,
Rich
