If the code in your data dictionary is not created at runtime but is supplied by you then add another memo field called fxp_data and compile the code in the memo field into an fxp and save it in the fxp_data memo field. A simple routine to create the fxp_data memo is

SCAN
copy prg_data to temp.prg
compile temp.prg
append memo fxp_data from temp.fxp overwrite
ENDSCAN

when you want to run the fxp in the memo field I do this

m.prog = 'temp.fxp'
copy fxp_data to temp.fxp
DO (m.prog)

I set prog as a variable so the project manager won't look for temp.fxp
