quick database variable question
|
Does anyone know of a way to use a variable for a fieldname in a database variable? i know varname.@fieldnamevar doesnt work, or anything like that, but maybe there's another trick?

I haven't bothered exploring this, but would the #ADDKEY command work?
Syntax: #ADDKEY (data-rec) (field) (value)
You could probably do something like this:
#ADDKEY @city @location %1
Maybe you'll have to force-expand the name and field variables, though.

hmm, well don't I feel like a moron
I asked the same question a few months back, I think, and it didn't occur to us.
