Sigh... I suppose it is asking too much to insist people
name their procedures and functions properly to avoid all
this rigamarole. And I *know* it is too early in the year
to feel this crappy. :-(
I think the problem probably have to do with the order in
which the routines are listed in rb_routines. But the chances
of getting *that* sorted out are probably about nil.
I'd try adding a FORWARD_FUNCTION RB_DIM_STR just after your
RESOLVE_ROUTINE command and see if that doesn't help some.
Or, you could just grab the RB_DIM_STR function out of the
library and put it in a file name rb_dim_str.pro and for sure
things will work better. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. I'd also exit IDL and start over. Once IDL gets
its mind made up that something is a variable, it is
hard to convince it otherwise.
