I've run into a strange problem with this:

FOR i=0,nfiles-1 do begin
infile = string(filefolder)+string(i+1,format='("/",i3.3,".dump")')
OPENR,lun,infile,/GET_LUN
rows = FILE_LINES(infile)
data = fltarr(10,nstar,nfiles)
framearray = fltarr(10,rows)
READF,lun,format ='(I2,1x,I2,1x,I2,2x,F0,2x,I0,5F0.3)',framearray
close,lun
free_lun,lun
data[0,0,i] = framearray
print,i
print,data[*,*,i]
ENDFOR
print,data
RETURN
END

I've stuck a print statement within the loop to check that each 2-d
array is being written to the 3-d array with each pass of the loop,
and it seemed to be working fine.
However, when I came to pass the variable 'data' out to another
procedure, I noticed it was (mainly) full of zeros. A quick print
statement outside the loop within the above procedure revealed that I
had zeros throughout the entireity of 'data', except for the final
value of i.

I.e. there were only values for data[*,*,124], where 124 is the last
value of the loop index.

Has anyone come across such behaviour before?
