Hi Rick

Is there a function in IML that can create a within-scalar repetition factor based on a single character? I.e. say I have index variable i = 1 to 3. I would like to automatically define scalar *, **, *** in a do loop based on the index. I suppose I could initialise the first star and then create a second loop that adds a star to the previous result but that seems clunky. Any ideas welcome.

Regards
