It's both.. DECLARE a integer; b integer; The point is I want a dynamically named variable. Here I've named them the same as stuff[i] but they can be anything provided it is a different variable name on each loop iteration. The manual is not entirely clear on where loop variable substitution does and does not apply with FOR. > Did you try > declaring a,b,c,d as the return type of the respective functions? > > How would this help?
