I do not see the need yet, using the IFERR helps detect execution errors when programming.

You can create a list and create a file: AFiles("Data"):=List, and then reuse it knowing its structure.

Yeah, but the code isn't as clean. Example:

record MyType
Name as string
DOB as string
DateOfHire as string
salary as real
end record

UserRec(1000) as MyType

UserRec(1).Name="Tom"
UserRec(1).DOB="1968-09-11"
UserRec(1).DateOfHire="1989-03-01"
UserRec(1).salary=109234.17

Later on in the program, you know just what is being worked on by the field name after the dot. Coding is much cleaner than having to take an element out of a list. Quick, what kind of data is stored in L1(3)? How about UserRec(2).DateOfHire ? Which one is clearer as to what the data is and easier to remember?

Am I the only person who's writing heavy-duty programs for the Prime? Programs with hundreds of lines and lots of data? Programs that may have to be maintained by someone else?
