And I want to be sure that the content (value) of this variable is not changed by another procedure. The variable is "global" in the sense that it is available in many many other routines. I may have several co-programmers I do not trust :-) What is the simplest way to do this (in Ada) ? reinert -- http://home.chello.no/~rkorsnes
