You're missing the point -
Sure, the compile time versus run time processing is a
factor, but the
fact of the matter here is not the EQUATE itself but the
data it is
equating to...
At compile time the compiler does not have access to the

Fawaz, equates are processed at compile time not at run time.

Fawaz, equates are processed at compile time not at run time.
Using "=
EQU V.SEC.SYNONYM TO COURSE.SECTIONS.REC.TABLE
PRINT.VAR = V.SEC.SYNONYM
verus
PRINT.VAR = COURSE.SECTIONS.REC.TABLE
I'm not sure but I think, in this case, elimating the EQUATE would be
less keystrokes.

Fawaz,
No, it won't speed up your app. It will speed up your getting carpel tunnel
syndrome. Equates are used for several purposes. In this case it looks as
if they are being used to reduce the number of keystrokes the programmer
will have to make.

Hi All,
I have a UniBasic program with hundreds of equate
statements like
EQU V.SEC.SYNONYM TO
COURSE.SECTIONS.REC.TABLE
and only thing they do is assign it to a PRINT.VAR
PRINT.VAR = V.SEC.SYNONYM:" ":..
I am planning to take off the equate and assign the
variable directly to the PRI
