The problem is that you are trying to set a local variable from within a
statement that presumes that the variables already exist.  It's a
contrdiction in terms.  You have to define the variable first, then evaluate
it.

It almost looks like if you did a REPEAT...FORNUMS loop, it would be better.

Later.
