Description
The EXECSCRIPT() function runs multiple lines of code. The lines of code are contained in <expC>, which can be a text constant, a character variable, or a character or memo field. The EXECSCRIPT() function, unlike EXEC() can handle blocks of code, such as FOR...NEXT or DO WHILE...ENDDO loops. Individual lines of code must be separated by a CHR(10) line feed character.
If the first statement in <expC> is a PARAMETERS statement, a comma-separated list of parameters can be included.
The EXECSCRIPT() function returns a logical true (.T.) unless its contents specifically return false (.F.).
Example
// Character field create table scripts (script char(200)) use scripts append blank replace script with "for i=1 to 10" + CHR(10) + "?i" + CHR(10) + "endfor" + CHR(10) execscript(script) // Text constant execscript("for i=1 to 10" + CHR(10) + "?i" + CHR(10) + "endfor" + CHR(10)) // Memory variable m_script = "for i=1 to 10" + CHR(10) + "?i" + CHR(10) + "endfor" + CHR(10) execscript(m_script) // Including parameters execscript("parameters p1,p2"+chr(10)+"messagebox(p1+etos(p2))"+chr(10),"Hello ",2013)
