TIB: RE: Question concerning renaming




Alright, I have it figured out.  I don't know if anyone else has answered
it.

Here's what you need to do.  If you have the name of the variable as a
string in name, (e.g. name="var1"), then you can do the following:

To store data into that variable, use the indirection operator (#).  For
example, if I wanted to store the number 12 into the user input variable
"var1", I could do this

12->#name

That would store the number 12 into the variable "var1" as long as the
variable name is a string.  I hope that helps.
