I've observed exported idlsav files which have two variables with the same name. I don't have an example worked up which shows this, however.
This produces two DEP0:
ffx= fft(sin(linspace(0,TAU*20,1024))) ffx_real= ffx[:,0] ffx_imag= ffx[:,1] formatDataSet(ffx_real,PWD+'ffx.sav?ffx_real') formatDataSet(ffx_imag,PWD+'ffx.sav?ffx_imag&append=T')
This produces two DEP0:
