Hi,

Could you please post the original values (not the values after the first 
iteration) as in the original message and the desired result without any 
program and temporary variables. Please be more specific on what you are 
trying to achieve.

Sometimes it is just easier to start from scratch than to look for an error 
in a foreign code.

Regards, Sergiy
