I gather from TT's reply that I was not getting what you had expressed. I was thinking more of a macro in C terms than the 'eval' that you were expressing.Hi Tim, Thank you for your reply, but my example has mislead you somewhat,I'm afraid. Macro substitution is something completely different from 'IF DEF's' or '#INCLUDE'( if I do understand your explanation correctly).
Since I'm replying to this thread, Phoebus is right in that FoxPro is not based on anything by M$. Fox's first product was a code accelerator for dBase II. I believe FoxPro is based on the dBase II/III language (which I used to program in many moons ago).
