[ql-users] Sbasic and macro substitutions

[Fran�ois Van Emelen]

Hi all,

I've been using Foxpro v2 (programmable database system) for several years now and 'macro substitution' is one of those powerful functions I use a lot in my programmes. I wonder whether such a function is available (possible?) in Sbasic.
Here's an example of a 'macro substitution':

l='('
r=')'
f='UPPER'
v='"ql-smsq"'
c=F+L+V+R
? c (?=print) displays as expected UPPER('ql-smsq')
cc=&c (&=macro substitution sign)
?cc displays QL-SMSQ

Is there a way to achieve this in Sbasic (Qliberated Sbasic) ?
How ? Why not?
