>Hi,

>I need to change a hard-coded expression into a variable (stored in the app object). The expression has a variable - name of the alias - which may change in different parts of the app. Here is an example (close to actual case):
>
>Right now, hard coded:
>

>nQty = EVALUATE(tcAliasName + ".INSTOCK") + EVALUATE(tcAliasName + ".ONORDER") - EVALUATE(tcAliasName 
>+ ".REORDERPNT")
>

>
>If I place the entire hard-coded expression to a variable, as:
>

>cExpr = 'EVALUATE(tcAliasName + ".INSTOCK") + EVALUATE(tcAliasName + ".ONORDER") - EVALUATE(tcAliasName  + ".REORDERPNT")'
>

>
>Will the above work as?
>

>nQty = EVALUATE( cExpr ) 
>*-- or
>nQty = &cExpr.
