[comp.databases] When are variables bound in OracleSQL*Forms EXEMACRO stmts?

beverly@ai.cs.wisc.edu (Beverly Seavey (-Kung)) (09/12/90)

  In one of my triggers I have the line:

	 #EXEMACRO GOFLD &SYSTEM.CURRENT_FIELD;

   My intent is for the value of the contents of the current field to be
   evaluated and used as the name as the next field to go to. E.g., if
   the contents of the field are HCa, then the cursor should move to the
   field HCa.  Instead, as far as I can tell the trigger is ignored, and
   the cursor just moves to the next field in the sequence. Is
	   &SYSTEM.CURRENT_FIELD not bound at the time that this line is 
    parsed?
