[BR_forum] Char Var in Data Statement

[ltietz at verizon.net]

If p$="ABC"

Data p$


Read mat1$

Will result in mat1$(1) being p$

Can I get abc into mat1$ with the data/read function?

I believe the only way would be to proc-build a program and then chain to it.

I'm not exactly sure what you want, but my belief is NO.

You could however do the following:

00090 library "fnsnap.dll":fngethandle
00100 open
#(outfil=:FNGETHANDLE):"name=temp"&session$&".txt,replace",display,outpu
t
00110 print #outfil:"let mat1$=p$"
00120 print #outfil:"let mat2$=q$"
00130 let outfil$=file$(outfil)
00140 close #outfil: : let outfil=0
00150 execute "*PROC "&outfil$

What are you trying to accomplish?

I'm pretty sure you can not use variables in your data statements. So
you can't say "Data P$". But what are you trying to accomplish?
