Visual foxpro table name with variable












0














I have to modify an old software wrote in visual foxpro (latest version)
My goal is to create some temporary tables with a non-fixed name (it depends on some variable).
How can I write something like:
variable1="table_name"
Create table variable1 (field1 int, field2 int)



and have the output file table_name.dbf?

          Just a small change to what you wrote will do the trick:



          variable1 = "table_name"
          CREATE TABLE (variable1) (field1 int, field2 int)
