Getting back on the coding horse - does anyone have any idea why IDL gives syntax errors on compile here? [message #94756]

Hi,
I think that you should update your code. IDL has abandoned round parenthesis for arrays ages ago. Try dropping those round ones for square ones:
myArray[pos] = ...
That should bring you a step further. If not, let us know...

Cheers, Helder

PS: round parenthesis are used for functions, so compile and programmers tend to get confused. That's why things should be kept like () for functions and [] for array indexing. Check the IDL help for compiler options.

As I said ... it's been a while. :-s

That fixed it. Thanks for taking the time.
