I'm trying to do the following:

------

 dim xTable as string
 dim xData as integer

 xTable = 'table_name'

 fetch first from xTable

 xData = xTable.data_column

------

I'm using xTable as a string because the actual table name is specifed by the user and 
is not known at compile time.
The error i get from mapbasic compiler is soooo helpful -> Unrecognized command: ..

I'm guess MI doesn't like the fact that i'm trying [string variable].[column name] 
instead of [table].[column name]

So how do i get around this assuming that i dont know the table name at compile time?

TIA
