Thanks for your comments. I'm not sure I see exactly why using named constants in this kind of situation should be avoided — certainly, I would not want to set up something that should be dynamically allocated as a bunch of static arrays; but in this case (my actual application needs some arrays to hold file-names, and, for each file, further arrays of field names (not the same number of fields for each file, of course… and a further array of key buffers, also of different number & size….) this seems like a fairly reasonable approach. Maybe I'm missing something ( as is so often the case )…..
