Hi all,
I currently have the same problem as described in http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=304027
I have a CHAR variable myVar that is to be used as a field reference, e.g. "InputLocalEnvironment.Variables.config".
I now want to use the variable myVar to achieve the same as with
| Code: |
| DECLARE myRef REFERENCE TO InputLocalEnvironment.Variables.config; |
Unfortunately the method described in the above mentioned topic to use EVAL doesn't work in the way described. When I use
| Code: |
| DECLARE myRef REFERENCE TO EVAL(myVar); |
the ESQL editor shows an error
| Code: |
| Syntax error. Valid options include: ; |
What is wrong here? Do I miss anything?
Thanks Oli |

the eval was apparently my earlier suggestion.
I'm going to have to disagree with myself, and suggest you follow kimbert's method instead. |

And remember the {} syntax is only valid for 1 level... so you may have
InputBody.{}.{}.{}...

Anyways why not use MOVE ref TO ref.FirstChild, nextSibling etc... and check the FieldName(ref) and FieldNamespace(ref) ?
