a = [ [1,1], [1,1] ]
b = [[2],[2]]
c=[a,b]


So, make sure b is a column vector. Define b that way or use transpose
or reform.

IDL> a=[[1,1],[1,1]]
IDL> print,a
1 1
1 1
IDL> b=[[2],[2]]
IDL> print,b
2
2
IDL> c=[b,a]
IDL> print,c
2 1 1
2 1 1


The key is creating b with the correct dimensions. Another option is

IDL> b=reform([2,2],1,2)
IDL> print,b
2
2

Benjamin
