If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, you will need
to use encoding=meta.

I'm looking for a way to evaluate a metatag stored in a database, 
similar to runtime evaluation of an include file.

(I recall my DEC PDP-9 had an opcode to "Execute the instruction at 
the operand address.  That's what I want to do).

Say I SELECT default FROM table WHERE...

resultset[1,1]: ==> <@CURRENTTIMESTAMP>

So I want to replace @@resultset[1,1] with the currenttimestamp as 
evaluated by witango (or some other reasonable metatag).

I was hoping that <@CALC <@VAR ENCODING="none" SCOPE="request" 
NAME="resultset[1,1]">>

would work per the manpage that states:

[quote]The rule is, if the _expression_ contains a single meta tag, 
such an _expression_ is fully evaluated by the calculator, rather than 
treated as a string.[/quote]

Anyone know how to do this?
