Folks,
There are days (almost always when there are tight deadlines
on multiple projects) when you just don't need it!
I just spent five hours over two days (and woke up several
times last night thinking about it) chasing a most perplexing
bug, only to discover my favorite gotcha at the other end:
Memo to Self: Make DAMN sure what you pass to WHERE
is a scalar and not an array. ASSUME NOTHING!!!!
Who would have thought this:
name = OBJ_CLASS (classname, /Superclass)
would return a 1-element array!? Good thing I've lost
the key to the ammo case. :-(
Cheers,
David

lol,
I've run into surprise arrays so often that I have been conditioned
to do things like
print,(reform(2+2))[0]

WOW!
I think we should have a grand celebration at the 10 k mark
How about everyone who has been helped by David's posts
over the years sends him a beer. That seems like a reasonable
suggestion, and to help out, I will be more than happy to collect these
beers on David's behalf.
Please send the beers to Bob Stockwell, Boulder, CO, USA
:)
Cheers,
bob
