Hi,

you should use structures.

because then you do not need EXECUTE. x=CREATE_STRUCT(name,data)

If you are using EXECUTE you will never be able to use your
routines in RUNTIME.

I have already a tool to read in the total datasets into a structure.
(ICG-DATA-STRUCTURE). If you are interested please give me a note.

This data structure is explained in my publication:
