use the RUN COMMAND instruction..
exemple:
dim tmp as String
tmp = "Shade .. With ... bla bla bla "
tmp = tmp + "Values "
for i=0 to x
tmp = tmp + """" + nameIndividualValue(i) + """" + " Brush(" + param1(i)
+ "," + param2(i) + "," + param3(i) + "), "
Next
Run Command tmp
PS : """" is an insertion of the caracter -> " <- into the string...
for the string stories, i'm not not sure to understand all you asked..

Subject: MI MapBasic Shade statement
>Hello everyone,
>
>I was wondering if anyone can help me with a Map Basic problem I am having.
>I'm trying to automate a thematic map using the "Region, individual values,
>black and white" template. This map is suppose to result from values
>extracted from a selection performed prior.
>
>The selection results with a list of names - and regions should be shaded
>according to which name it falls in. I have managed to just get the names
>and the regions it falls under. Not the shading part.
>
>Then I have to use the "Shade" statement to create the thematic map:
>
>Shade 3 With some_column
> Values
> "xxxxxxxxx" Brush ...
> "yyyyyyyyyy" Brush ...
> "zzzzzzzzzz" Brush ...
> etc....
>
>My problem is that the list of names can be 3 or 23! How do I code in Map
>Basic to dynamically list the names and assign a different brush style
under
>the Shade statement?
>
>Another attempt: I put the names in an array variable. I tried to list the
>values by putting them all in one variable 'name_list', where names(n) is
>the array variable containing the names:
>
>counter = 2
>name_list = Chr$(34) + names(1) + Chr$(34)
>do while counter <= newsize
> name_list = name_list + "," + Chr$(34) + names(counter) + Chr$(34)
> counter = counter + 1
>loop
>
>The problem with above is that 'name_list' is seen as just one long string
>rather than a list of strings, despite that I have put in double quotation
>marks (Chr$(34)).
>
>I also tried putting under 'values' a variable list with: names(1),
>names(2), names(3), ... to a certain number
>but if the selection results in a list of names smaller than the listed
>number of variables, then it doesn't work. It seem to fail when there is
no
>value for the rest of the listed variables.
>
>Or is there a way to call an existing MapInfo function and pre-assign all
>the values to automatically create the thematic map?
>
>The answer seem like it can be right under my nose but I can't see it. Any
>help would be appreciated.
>
>Thanks,
>Susan
