Hi Ron,
Here follow two examples of declaring the arrays in advance because you
asked:
Thanks,
Aldi
         array rgs{&nphenos,&maxmems}
                %do j=1 %to &nphenos;
                   RG&j._F RG&j._M  RG&j._1-RG&j._&maxkids
                %end; ;;;;
        array ggs{&nloci,&maxmems}
                %do k=1 %to &nloci;
                   GG&k._F GG&k._M  GG&k._1-GG&k._&maxkids
                %end; ;;;;
