Hi Bruce --

Yes, I like tables, too, to separate data from logic. And, a table approach would be perfectly appropriate in this situation. I suspect Marvin's data is in that form. He could either access the table directly with some application modification, or select into an array and use existing code.

>a) hit the size limit

You know, I hadn't thought of it, but a table-driven approach could be used to generate prime numbers, indefinitely ... <g>

I almost always choose tables for these situations, for such reasons, plus I like having all the table command available, generally they're more flexible. But that depend on needs, of course, and perhaps either one will do fine.
