I third the suggestions. There are very few instances where you *actually* want to create a variable dynamically, everything else is where you're doing it wrong. Dick's suggestion of a hash is good if you have the modern versions of IDL (>8) and Matt's is good if you're ok with all the data being the same type. But my suggestion is to make an array of structures.
(1) prototype your data with a structure. Just making it up, I'd say it's like this:
foo={FOO,name:0,x:0,y:0,z:0,val:0d,nx:0,ny:0}
(2) then make this an array:
data=replicate({foo},n)
where n is the number of rows in your data set
(3) fill your dataset:
openr,lun,'myfile',/get_lun
for i=0,n-1 do begin
readf,lun,ind,x,y,z,val,nx,ny,f=format
data(i)={foo,ind,x,y,z,val,nx,ny}
endfor
free_lun,pun
you'll need to set the variable "FORMAT" in the readf line to be what you need, but that should be pretty easy.
Now you can access the data like...
plot,data.x,data.y,ps=6
or some such stuff.
