The "Evaluate" function will replace a text, representing an expression, with the evaluated version of the expression.
Here is a simple example:
x = "y"
y = 5
? x
? evaluate(x)
I find this very useful, for example, to create my own generic lookup function. The name of the field whose value must be returned after a SEEK(), are passed as one of the parameters. Instead of a single field, I can also use a more complicated expression, for example, concatenate two fields.
