Dennis: Yep. Worked. Added an if to get around "," at beginning of
assembled lists, and it works fine.
Many thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,
The problem is that you defined H1 as a regular variable and the code is
looking for a static variable named H1. Therefore, the static variables are
empty. For your test here, just use VarGetText(...
Or make your variables into static variables:
StaticVarSetText("H1", "SPY,500,06/04/2008"); etc.
BR,
Dennis
