Stefan, it is hard for me to know if the code
you posted is the actual code you use, but if it
is, I remind you that many of these kinds of errors
can be fixed, or at least spotted a hell of a lot
easier, if the code has a bit of "style" to it.
In this case, I am talking about indenting the
contents of loops.
Some people think style is a matter of an anal
personality run amuck. And I suppose it sometimes is.
But it is also a way of organizing your thoughts on
paper (or computer screen, as the case may be), and
as such it can be an enormous help writing something
as literal as instructions to a computer.
Just thought I would mention it. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. You can find many styles by reading the code
of any IDL library. In fact, you will sometimes be able
to date the code by the style in current use. *Which* style
to choose is almost irrelevant. Any style used consistently
will work for the purpose.
