Macro operator

[Raymond Fischbach]

Hello all,

I have a table with various field named D10,D11,D12,D13, ...
I would like to update the fields in a loop using the macro operator.
Something similar to

Code: Select all  Expand view

LOCAL cFld := ""
LOCAL nInd := 0

FOR nInd := 10 TO 20
   cFld := "D" + Str(nInd,2)
   oTable:&cFld := nInd
NEXT
 

This doesn't seem to work.
Can someone tell me the syntax to be used?

Many thanks in advance,
Raymond

Raymond,

__ObjSendMsg( oTable, "_" + cFld, nInd )

Raymond,

Code: Select all  Expand view

FOR nInd := 10 TO 20
   cFld := "D" + Str(nInd,2)
   &(cFld) := nInd
NEXT

Thank you Antonio and Maurizio,

Antonio,
I did not try your solution because I asked only half of my problem and your solution works when I want to replace the value of a field but I still don't know how to retrieve the value of the field.

Maurizio,
Your syntax works perfectly.

This is my code now:

Code: Select all  Expand view

cFld := "D" + cDia
nTmp := oF10b:&(cFld)
nTmp ++
oF10b:&(cFld) := nTmp
 

Many thanks for this fast help,
Raymond

Raymond,

To retrieve a data value don't use the "_":

MsgInfo( __ObjSendMsg( oTable, cFld ) )
