ok i have asked quite a few question the last few days smile but hopefully someone else also can make use of the top notch replies ive been getting. i have a part in a script which looks like this ;

set %variable10 %variable9
set %variable9 %variable8
set %variable8 %variable7
set %variable7 %variable6
set %variable6 %variable5
set %variable5 %variable4
set %variable4 %variable3
set %variable3 %variable2
set %variable2 %variable1

i wonder if this is the most efficient and fastest way to set these 10 variables ?
