You don't get it at all. It is your document -- post it as a draft, and invite people to put their name on it if they want. Do not coopt their decision making by asumming they shall obviously want their name on the document. manoj -- The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.
