Everything limits their input buffer, or else a user could crash the
computer
if they "accidently" gave too large of an input. It is a famous bug from
the old
days. There are just better ways to handle the situation. It is like you
are
trying to put your luggage into your glove box instead of the trunk. :)

sounds good.
Or use your existing perl script to create a main level IDL code where
you define your arrays:

Pro call_full_test

a_arr =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
b_arr =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
c_arr =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
d_arr =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
e_arr =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
f_arr =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
g_arr =
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

full_test, a_arr, b_arr, c_arr, d_arr, e_arr, f_arr , g_arr

end



Then have your script call "call_full_test"
$idl_prog_full_test = "call_full_test";
$idl_run = ".r $idl_prog_call_full_test";
$exit = "exit";
$idl_command_try_2 = "$idl_prog_call_ full_test";



Cheers,
bob
