Hello:
Suppose I wish to refer to a column. I have the alias in
*text* form. What is the best way to access the column? By best, I
mean a short, clear way
that:
1) can be used in both reads or writes on the column and
2) is in-line: I do not want to have to define a variable with an
expression and then use that in a later line.
I have the rather ugly
evaluate(aliasasstr+".colname")
which I have used for years on occasion. Now, I am modifying a
report where I will have to use this sort of access more than a few times.
Am I overlooking something cleaner?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
