Hi,

Are you running the program in the IDL VM? Even if your not, it's likely
your problem is being caused by the IDL runtime ignoring /BLOCK.

There are some other postings about this, the only one I could find was
this thread.

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-885 9-1&c2coff=1&q=porting+to+vm+group%3Acomp.lang.idl-p vwave&btnG=Search&meta=group%3Dcomp.lang.idl-pvwave

That's all on one line, just in case.

Chris.
