By now, the bocreate() returns an ArrayList which is written to bO... sorry,
my code was really misunderstandable...

The integer I'd like to get from bocreate() too represents an account
number, so it has nothing to do with the ArrayList already returned...

Well, after having read some information about the Collection, I think I
would use this way... which means that bocreate() has to put the ArrayList
and the integer in a new Collection object and return this to bORead(),
which will have to get the two out of the Collection, right?

I'll try tomorrow...

Many thanks so far and a very nice weekend!
