Abstract
We give a finitary procedure of finding the set of lengths of cycles for polynomial mappings in several variables over discrete valuation domains. As a consequence, we obtain a procedure of determining the set of cycle-lengths of $N\ge 2$ variables over $Z_K$ for any algebraic number field $K$. In our earlier paper, we gave a procedure working for one variable only.
