Storing code in a table
I have a table called export_list, and a column called exec_code (type memo). In my program I want to execute the code stored in the 'exec_code' column if the column is not empty. Is this possible? My thought was that I could use macro expansion, but I get various errors when trying to execute multi-line statements. Do you all have any tips?

Justin: - - -- - Sure, just strToFile() into some temp file name, COMPILE it, and run it. I do it all the time.

Re: Storing code in a table
Various ways - you could dump it to a temporary file with STRTOFILE()
and then _VFP.DoCmd("DO tempfile.prg")

Re: Storing code in a table
Thanks to both of you for your responses. That does work.
Do you have to take it to a file? Not a big deal, just curious.
Thanks again,

Re: Storing code in a table
It is funny, I am sitting here trying to figure out whether and how to do the same thing in PHP. I have always liked the idea of maintaining validation language and other utility code in tables. Developing my own framework in PHP is bringing out my "Wish I would have done it's" of my VFP framework.

This is strange, just 2 days ago I was wondering how to do the same thing. I was just getting ready to post to the list. Ain't that funny.

It certainly can be done, and you might seek his advice for tips since he's apparently been successful at it. See the tightlinecomputers.com website for his contact info. -- Michael J.

Re: Storing code in a table
< Are you running VFP9? EXECSCRIPT() should do the trick without a tempfile. > I don't think that is entirely correct. I believe ExecScript does indeed create a tempfile (so your users will need write permissions to the temp directory), but you won't have to handle the creation and compilation of the temp file yourself.
