Hey Jim,
Used to do this way back when without an explicit COMPILE and it worked fine. But I think you better ask your student why in the heck he or she would be doing that. Sounds problem-prone.
>I had a student recently ask me if you can store code in a memo field so it can be accessed, compiled, and executed at runtime. I think this is possible with the COMPILE command, yes? I just haven't had a chance to research it yet...
