>Foxpro's adir() does this awesome thing where it creates an array for the first parameter, if you didn't do it yourself. Since I would like to mimick the functionality of Adir(), I would like to do a similar thing.

YOu can do this:

on error createvariable(sys(2018))

=CreateVariable(Var2)
?Var2

function createvariable
	lparameters tcName
	lcPublic = 'PUBLIC ' + tcName
	&lcPublic
endfunc

the problem is it has to be declared public, otherwise it goes out of scope right away. In any case, ALL good code should have the variables declared somewhere, IMO.
