Hmm,

_Screen.ADDOBJECT("filecache", "Collection")
***
lcFile="Any.xml"
lcHASH=SYS(2007, lcFile, 0, 1)

liIndex=_Screen.filecache.GetKey(lcHASH)
IF liIndex=0
   lcXML=FILETOSTR(lcFile)
   _Screen.filecache.ADD(lcXML, lcHASH)
ELSE
   lcXML=_Screen.filecache.Item(liIndex)
ENDIF

>Just a follow up question. The reason I was concerned about using FILETOSTR() function is that I would need to use it about 100 times, randomly. That is, the same value (e.g. "any.xml") could be used more than one time and therefore, my code would have to Get this file (e.g. "any.xml") into a string more than 1 time. Then, maybe after 2-3 iterations, do it again, do it again.
