hi Hilmar,

it is a false problem.

You cannot define a array directly, with VFP reserved function keywords like name.

DIMENSION sqrt(1)

but you can build it with a implicit command ( a VFP control issue for me )

ALANGUAGE(sqrt,1)
* now you can use it ?
? sqrt(1) && return 1
* but it is a variable !!!
? m.sqrt(1)

Now you have the solution on hand:

? TYPE('m.sqrt(4)')

I always remain astonished in seeing that nearly all the programs puttinges in UT do not use m.;
this is one sure source of future problems.
