From: Paul Gilmartin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> No! Missed the point! If I wanted to display WOMBAT, I could simply doWRITE WOMBAT couldn't I? The objective is to assign to or display the variable whose (unspecified) name is in &COLOR. The Rexx equivalent would be: interpret color "= 'WOMBAT'"
If that's the objective, then I already showed in an earlier post how to do it. Here it is again, but modified slightly to use the WOMBAT example:
SET &ANIMAL1 = WOMBAT SET &NUMBER = 1 SET &COLOR = &&ANIMAL&NUMBER WRITE &COLOR The above logic displays 'WOMBAT'.
