Is there any way to use a variable as the name of a structure tag? For
instance:
tagnamevar='mytagname'
somedata=1.2
structurename={tagnamevar:somedata}
print,tag_names(structurename)
Returns, as you IDL'ers know,
TAGNAMEVAR and not MYTAGNAME
Thoughts?

It's faster than reading through the list of procedures
and functions, I have to admit, although I still
recommend you take a slow day and do the reading, too.
It truly is amazing what you find out. I try to do it
several times a year. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. I found an answer to a particularly vexing question
on my own web page this morning, so I guess I have to add
*that* to the reading schedule, too. :-(
