Hi David,

I believe this wasn't restricted. Both are anonymous structures not named!

There was a restriction with named structures and I think you like to talk
about this one. A rule change and when will we get this fixed ....

IDL> a=make_array(5,2,1)
IDL> help,a,reform(a,5,2,1)
A FLOAT = Array[5, 2]
<Expression> FLOAT = Array[5, 2, 1]

IDL> a=ptr_new(reform(a,5,2,1))
IDL> help,*a
<PtrHeapVar2> FLOAT = Array[5, 2, 1]

I like to see the reform output always

cheers
Reimar
