>You need to follow the naming conventions as specified in the online help. For example, your array might be better called gadatos( the g standing for glabal, as it is a public array, and the a indicating the type of variable in this case array.) As the number of objects and programs in your work increases naming conventions make things much easier to read and analyze.

Jerry,
Ok. You're absolutely right. I have my own naming conventions (inherited from other previous languages and times where the length of the variable names was so important) maybe with some errors. But the program 'datos' is programatically created by a application not developed by my company.

What i'm looking for is a actual solution to this eventual problem, and federico's one is good for me.

Thanks anyway. Carlos
