[sqr-users] Using the value of one variable to create a new variable

[Avery Nelson <averyall@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,

I have the following situation. I would like to use the value of one variable 
(e.g. $A = 'B') to create a new variable ($B).

In short, I have an array. In the column Variable, I have values such as $A, 
$B, $C. Note, they are stored as literals, but the value in the array is not 
quoted.

I would like to Get the value from the array (e.g. $A), and then use that value 
to create a new variable, letting $A now equal a new value.

begin-Program

Create-Array Name=DetailRec Size=13
Field=Variable:Char
Field=FirstChar:Char
Field=Length:Char

Put '$ItemIdInitial' '14' '30' Into DetailRec (0) Variable FirstChar Length

Get $Variable $FirstChar $Length from DetailRec (0) Variable FirstChar Length
Let #FirstChar = to_number($FirstChar)
Let #Length = to_number($Length)
Extract $Variable From $CurrentRecord #FirstChar #Length

end-Program

Where Extract $Variable From $CurrentRecord #FirstChar #Length would actually 
be processed like:

Extract $ItemIdInitial From $CurrentRecord #FirstChar #Length

How do you do this????

Avery
