Guys, I may be way off base but I have a program that takes basic code from the command line, compiles and runs it. For example: >01 RUNBASIC CRT SYSTEM(2) ; CRT SYSTEM(3) ==================================================== 79 24 > RUNBASIC is the program and CRT SYSTEM(2) ; CRT SYSTEM(3) is the code in this example. 79 and 24 are the answers. The string of = signs are just for looks. This could be EXECUTEd from within a program but why? It is quite handy for testing bits of code at TCL and might be useful in a proc. RUNBASIC will do anything you can do with one line of code using ; to separate statements including FOR ... NEXT and LOOP ... REPEAT. Code is free as long as you don't critisize it. Don Robinson

Let me ask my process what it has as the value for System(2). Oops I have to write a program just to tell me that.... that's too much trouble. Why can't it just have a way to *tell* me ? Why!!!! -----Original Message----- From: Martin Phillips <martinphill...@ladybridge.com> To: 'U2 Users List' <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Fri, Aug 24, 2012 10:11 am Subject: Re: [U2] Variable Interpolation Hi, I am intrigued by this thread, mostly because I have not understood why I would want it. If I can write CALL @"SUB FOO(X,Y);Y=X+1;RETURN"( 3, VAL ) as suggested, why don't I just write the code inline in my program. What have I missed?
