Hi doug,

This mean you don't believe in data driven applications anymore ? Personally I'd like to see more enhancements made to make this easier. (for example build a form in a cursor, and run it from that cursor, the same for classes and reports). I also think that the introduction of the COMPILE command is a prove that there is need for such enhancements.
