For the longest time this has been bugging me, but right now I could really use this capability.
Does anyone know if it is possible to reference a variable indirectly? IOW, I want to be able to store variable names in a file (for example), and then assign values to those variables as the program encounters them.
For example, something like this:
PARTNO = ''; LOTNO = ''; PARTNAME = '' VAR.NAMES = 'PARTNO':@FM:'LOTNO':@FM:'PARTNAME' * * Next, a magic command that makes the variable * refered to by VAR.NAMES<2> equal to 'it works'. (VAR.NAMES<2>) = 'it works'; * I know this does not work, just example. PRINT LOTNO * * Variable LOTNO is now eq 'it works'.
Possible??
Isn't this a bit (whatever the word I'm looking for is)???
If you already have a variable of PART.NO "set" (so you can "set" it in VAR.NAMES) why the blazes would you want to go through a two-step process to find out what PART.NO is again later in the program?
Seems a tad Oirish t'me...... unless I don't understand your problem ....
