Any idea to evaluate field from db indirectly ?

[legionar]

Hi!

Suppose v. 9.1d:

def var p-file as c no-undo init 'name-of-db-file'.
def var p-field as c no-undo init 'name-of-db-field-of-file'.

How to get the specific file data without compiling 'on-the-fly'.
Something like: display (value p-file).(value p-field) ?
(Of course, this is non-sense. But I need to address fields indirectly!)

I can do it, but for that I need a full version of Progress.

You need to learn about "dynamic queries". The search feature should turn up plenty of hits on the subject.

Thank you.
I'll try something from that ...
