The BOXPLOT documention says that the VALUES parameter should be dimensioned M x 5 -- it looks like you have the transpose

What make the problem hard to diagnose is that the BOXPLOT() function does not play nice with the input parameters

IDL> plotstats = findgen(5,12)
IDL> help,plotstats
PLOTSTATS FLOAT = Array[5, 12]
IDL> saa = boxplot(indgen(12),plotstats)
IDL> help,plotstats
PLOTSTATS FLOAT = Array[12, 5]

So it looks like BOXPLOT has transposed the input data, so the second time through the plotstats variable is dimensioned [12,5] whereas you are assuming that is dimensioned [5,12], giving the array subscript error. --Wayne
