I need a function in OpenInsight similar to Catalyst in Arev, expecificaly when it have like first param 'C'

Catalyst('C', … )

that exist?

LB ..

Don't think you will be able to implement a Catalyst C call in OI. This used to compile and execute source code passed in the parameter. I don't think that you can call the compiler and oengine this way. This was even problematical in AREV since there were some compiler functions that were not available that way either ($INSERT, etc.). Given the way memory is managed under windows, it doesn't look as though this would work.

Sprezzatura has a Catalyst function for OpenInsight

Yesiree you do..but he wants a "C" (compile & execute) call which I don't think you do have. However, slick job anyway!

Theres more than one way to skin a proverbial.

A suggestion.

This is a method I use to do a similar thing.

Create a dummy program and compile it. Mainly to create the repository entries.

Now when you need to create the code and run it on the fly, just write the code to SYSPROCS DUMMY*account (don't forget the header subroutine dummy(x) etc

Then

call recompile_proc("DUMMY*":account)

error=get_status(errormsg)

set_status(0)

if error then call msg("","ERROR COMPILING ":errormsg)

Call DUMMY

Paul .. very nice indeed! Good thinking.
