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).
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.

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).
