EQU LOTNO LIT "VAR.NAMES<2>" Rgds, Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Dzikiewicz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 13 April 2005 9:07 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] reference a variable indirectly? You could probably use the EQUATE statement ? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Brevik Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 6:59 PM To: U2-users (E-mail) Subject: [U2] [UV] reference a variable indirectly? UV 9.6.1.3 on Windows. 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??
