Hello,
on my adventures with execute I discoverd:
it only accepts 65 commas (ie parameters) in its string
i tried execute("print,a,a,a,a,a,a,......") for this.
if you use a variable for the content it may be different,
i will have to research...
the limit 131 chars is not found on IDL 4.0.1. I successfully
processed strings of the length 1738 chars.
----------------------
to my questions
i want to define a REALLY NEW variable (names depends on other
variables!
Imagine:
i=0L
for i=1,20 do begin
a="testname_"+string(i)
b=a+'=findgen(i)'
out=execute{b}
endfor
help
print,"well? all vars defined?"
It is obvious that i CANNOT declare the variable names eg with another
execute... (watch out for the warning in execute-manpage)
My idea in this was to programm a new file with idl in front...:
openw,lun,"dyndef.pro"
printf,lun,"pro dyndef"
for i=1,20 do begin
printf,lun,"testname_"+string(i)+"=BYTE(0)
endfor
printf,lun,"exit"
; now call my dynamic definitions procedure...
dyndef
will this work our is there a more elegant way to declare the vars?
any hint wanted...

I think that it will work only once.
The second time, the dyndef procedure will not be re-compiled;
the old definition will be used by IDL. So you need to create
each time a new name for the procedure
