Lemme cite an example of Macro Substitution:
put "/sbt/apdata1/apmast" into m0apmast
put "02" into m0company
now referring to &m0apmast.&m0company. would yield "/sbt/apdata1/
apmast02"
The ampersand is the Macro Substitution operator in Foxpro.
I think I can code around this. It's just that I am finding I am
going to have to do a lot of recoding to make this port work.

when I can refer to

the value it contains at runtime. So if bobtest
contained "blah" then
I could "get $bobtest.1" and the code at runtime
would give me the
value of blah1. I won't go into the virtues of macro
substitution
here. There are times when it is quite handy.
I know Revolution has no such convention. I am
hoping to avoid a lot
of extra coding to convert macro substitutions in
the Foxpro code.
Any ideas?

Hi Bob,
Depending on the circumstances, you can use the 'do'
command and 'value' function to achieve your goal.
