Yes, it did. But it raised a few more questions...Would it have been the same to use @i instead of $i?If there a way to tell the script not to stop on errors (~VBA on error resume next)?And why doesn't deseas() work with lists as arguments?Thanks!!

list mylist = dataset
loop foreach i mylist
series sa_$i = deseas($i)
end loop
should work for your first question.
If I understand correctly, it may even solve the second one?
cheers,
sven
