Re: genSub output alignment

Thanks to both you and Burkhard for replying.
One of the problems turned out with the field types, in that
I had mistyped DOUBLE as DUOBLE, and the rest was solved
following a suggestion from Russell Kackley across the hall from
me, to de-reference the other end of the assignment.

Looks like this works now (as far as it's implemented so far)
